Did you install the 5.9.6-1 kernel headers package for the kernel you are running?

Hello & Welcome,

is this your source?

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8812au-dkms-git/

You have change PKGBUILD for ARM Devices? aarch64

line 9

arch=('i686' 'x86_64')

change to

arch=('i686' 'x86_64' 'aarch64')

or

arch=('any')

another possibility would be …

Source: AUR (en) - rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git

here change line 12

arch=('x86_64')

as described above

Used this one:
Source: AUR (en) - rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git
Which file to change line 12?
No PKGBUILD for the above.
I have 5.9.6-1-MANJARO-ARM linux headers installed.

Got this message:
Good news! Module version v5.6.4.2_35491.20191025 for 88XXau.ko.gz
exactly matches what is already found in kernel 5.9.6-1-MANJARO-ARM.
DKMS will not replace this module.
You may override by specifying --force.

depmod…

DKMS: install completed.
dkms status
8812au, 5.6.4.2_35491.20191025, 5.9.6-1-MANJARO-ARM, aarch64: installed (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)
rtl8812au, 5.6.4.2.r11.g3110ad6: added

Still not working ?

Which file to change line 12?

this is what the directory with files looks like

rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git]$ ls -a
.  ..  dkms.conf  .git  PKGBUILD  .SRCINFO

the file PKGBUILD must be changed

original PKGBUILD for x86_64 System - NOT ARCH / ARM !

line 12:

arch=('x86_64')

change to (aarch64 or any)
result should look like this

arch=('aarch64')
or
arch=('any')

then, save the file and compile

after this…pls reboot
