Alrighty, I think this is a wrap. One video made by "Don't call me lenny!" on youtube provided me a github link with a modified version of the rtl8812AU driver software. So I downloaded it, booted up Xaniel, and a few minutes of compiling and installing the driver, everything was recognized, and I could connect.
I'd like to thank everyone for helping me on this. This was my first time using a linux distro like this, so having alot of help from you guys was great.

How about helping others and making a topic on this in the
Hardware>Networking>Wireless section of the forum.
Give details on what you did.
Got driver from here (Web link)
Etc......
This hardware is probably too new to have the driver already built into the Linux kernel.
You say you used a modified driver package, so it seems they are still working on making a good Linux driver.
In Linux there is at least a 6 month delay in making drivers for very new hardware.

The things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Well said, that man.jafadmin wrote:My approach with any Linux distro is to buy devices that I know the kernel will support instead of buying shiny things then trying to shoehorn them into linux.
Less stressful.
That's my exact same approach. Wireless dongles, webcams, any kind of peripheral like that.....do your research first, and it'll pay off. In spades; 'cos the item will be literally 'plug & play'. Plug it in; it'll work.
Perhaps I did go over the top with my recent purchase of a Logitech c920 HD Pro webcam.....but this top of the range cam gives exceptional picture quality, so was worth every shekel I laid out for it. From my research, I knew it was supported by the kernel 'uvc' driver module.....so should be plug & play.
And so it proved. Instead of spending days or weeks trying to make it work, right from day one I've instead simply enjoyed using it.....
It's a much more sensible approach.
Mike.
