Does anyone know if the proprietary driver works on the Raspberry Pi4B (Arm)?Don't have a proprietary driver neither.Dlink seems to have added USB support. I assumed that is proprietary but I guess that is only x86. https://support.dlink.com/ProductInfo.aspx?m=DWA-181-US There is also an open source USB driver on github but I don't think it is getting fixes like the lfinger github one. https://github.com/neojou/rtw89-usb
The D-Link driver is for the rtl8822bu, not an rtl8852au. That would make it for rtw88, not rtw89. BTW, it will not compile under kernel 5.16.0-rc3, but the fixes would be minor. That driver is the usual collection of junk code published by the Realtek USB group for years. That code base is used to generate drivers for Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD. A group is currently modifying the rtl8188eu driver in staging to convert it into reasonable Linux shape. This one would take the same effort to make it suitable. The basic USB driver in the neojou repo should work, but I do not have an rtl8852au device. Larry
