Realtek released drivers for 802.11ac USB-adapters

Thanks Scriptcoder.

I recalled Pacifist from many years ago and tried it. It didn't work, so I'll be trying another software installation package and see if that one works. Thanks for the suggestion.

Hi. Do you have to have a working wifi setup to access that utility? Oddly, I find it in Spotlight but when I press enter it doesn't open. I've posted about my problem here: http://www.tonymacx86.com/network/148271-rosewill-pci-e-wifi-adapter-not-working.html#post919247

Thanks vm

Oh man, you are my hero for this! I just built a new system yesterday and installed Yosemite to find out there were no drivers for the USB-AC56 (and I already knew ethernet on this board was a no go). Then I spent hours trying to set up a bridged connection with Windows in VirtualBox and got it mostly working until I couldn't find a way around Apple's dumb DNS setup (wouldn't let me set a DNS server since I had no valid connections). Came on here to ask the experts and found this thread! I'm finally completely up and running! Thank you so much!

Ugh, well, I guess I spoke too soon. This driver is being VERY finicky. I was able to get it working a couple of times but now it just crashes the adapter every time I boot. Not sure what to do now. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers about 20 times and now I can't get anything from it. It boots, light comes on, but as soon as it tries to associate with a network the light goes out and it locks up the utility. This is frustrating. I wish ASUS would just get their drivers done.

Attached. Thank you for the help!

From your report:
lspci:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8812AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8812] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8812AE 802.11ac PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8812]

Your adater used PCI-Express chipset Realtek RTL8812AE.
Drivers for PCI-Express chipsets for OS X - does not already exist.
Made to work in OS X - can not.


In the first post are drivers for USB chipset Realtek RTL8812AU .
They you can not help ...

So to be clear, there is no hope of this working with my OSX system any time soon, and I should just return it?

What's strange is that the Rosewill technical representative whom I spoke with on the phone said that the chipset is the RTL-8812AU.
