Hi!

I installed an Armbian 22.11 Jammy XFCE on my Orange Pi One device and would like using wifi+bluetooth USB stick with rtl8821cu chipset.

I found the driver at https://github.com/morrownr/8821cu-20210118 , so at first-time runing distro I launch:

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

then clone repo and

sudo apt install -y build-essential

and for the end launch

sudo ./install-driver.sh

Now i get an error shown below. Does anybody now how it can be resolved?

Please report this error.

You will need to run the following before reattempting installation.
$ sudo ./remove-driver.sh

 

I found solution. I install another driver https://github.com/brektrou/rtl8821CU , so it works now.

It's steel not work. It's just launch bluetooth, but not wifi

From second driver very similar error:
