Realtek wifi dongle not working/detected: Missing string for 0BDA:A811

[Ulisse]

My dongle is identified with 0BDA:A811 and works nicely with driver RTL8821A, I got it working with this package simply adding this row:
 {USB_DEVICE(0x0BDA, 0xA811),.driver_info = RTL8821}, /* MY DEVICE */

under the #ifdef CONFIG_RTL8821A section in src/rtl8812au-4.3.8.12175.20140902+dfsg/os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c (file attached)

So far no problems, please verify and fix :)

I can confirm

{USB_DEVICE(0x0BDA, 0xA811),.driver_info = RTL8821}, /* Comfast - CF-915AC */

that my cheap chinese USB dongle

is working with the patch mentioned above.

Hi Guys,

When this module will get signed on the kernel ?

Regarding bug #1748972, Secure boot and EFI are not used.
