Edimax EW-7833UAC AC1750 not detected

  • Libreelec 8.1.2 on AMD APU system. I just picked up this wifi card:

    ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    And the libreelec configuration app doesn't see it.

    It shows up under lsusb as bus 002 device 004. I also have a realtek wifi card in there which is how I am accessing it from SSH. Removing the realtek USB card and leaving the edimax in results in no choices showing up for "connections."

    ifconfig with both USB wifi donges attached:

    output of dmesg: [ 0.000000] Linux version 4.11.12 (chewitt@buildbox) (gcc version 6.2.0 (GCC) - Pastebin.com

  • It contains a Realtek RTL8814AU chipset which we have no drivers for, and no plan to add support for. We are basically fed-up with Realtek breeding chipsets on a monthly basis and with absolutely none of them receiving mainline kernel support; which means we would have to maintain the driver ourselves, and we have better things to do with our lives.
