I have an old EDIMAX EW-7811Un (RTL8188CUS) wifi usb stick that works great, but doesn't have enough bandwidth or range to reach my install location, so I bought a white boxed Realtek RTL8811AU based 802.11AC adapter.

Code

# lsusb
Bus 001 Device 006: ID 0bda:c811 Realtek Semiconductor Corp.

It's got a bogus serial number, but the device works ok in other distros.

Code

relevant dmesg output:
[  547.576490@0] usb 1-1.1: new high-speed USB device number 6 using dwc_otg
[  547.677445@0] usb 1-1.1: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=c811

Is there a wiki on adding specific wifi modules to the LE kernel?

This is an ODROID-C2 system I'm running from.
