Hi, this is my first time reaching a Linux distribution team and also english is not my primary language, so please forgive me if I make any mistakes.
I have a PC that uses a Wi-Fi adapter TP-Link 725N which uses the rtl8812au driver. This is not an included driver on the installation to work out of the box. The way to install it in previous versions (kernel 5.+) was to router 4G connection from my smartphone to the bluetooth receiver, perform an “apt update”, “apt install dkms”, “git clone 'the rtl8812au driver’” and “dkms_install” the driver in my machine, wich took a very long time because of the poor bluetooth connection. In Debian 12 this method fails because after dkms_install there is an error regarding the Kernel 6.+: “Error! Your kernel headers for kernel … 6.1.0 cannot be found”. It is very difficult to overcome this problem when I don’t have internet connnection and from what I’ve read, this is a widely used driver for several adapters from TP-Link. With all that said, my contact is to request the inclusion of rtl8812au driver in the installation image so we don’t need to install it by workarounds. I don’t expect to get a response, but if someone from Debian team reads this, thank you for your time and support. Best regards, Mateus
