Install driver rtl8814au on ubuntu 18.04
I recently updated my ubuntu 16.04 to ubuntu 18.04,
but after updating, my TP Link T9UH wifi adapter doesn't work anymore.
It didn't work perfectly before (see Install rtl8814AU driver on ubuntu 16.04), but after removing and reinstalling the driver now and then, it would work again.
When I enter
sudo dkms install rtl8814au/4.3.21
it returns
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area...
'make'......(bad exit status: 2)
ERROR (dkms apport): binary package for rtl8814au: 4.3.21 not found
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.15.0-22-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl8814au/4.3.21/build/make.log for more information.
How can I get my wifi adapter working again?
When I try the solution given here: How to install an Edimax EW-7833UAC in 18.04
sudo dkms install rtl8814au/4.3.21 returns:

drivers 18.04

Unfortunately that does not work for me. When I try that, my dkms status gives me:rtl8814au, 4.3.21, 4.15.0-22-generic, x86_64: installed (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)

It works! I deleted everything and reloaded the driver and after that it worked again. Very happy now!

I installed the following to get my USB WiFi-AC working - not sure if you require 8814 though.
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install rtl8812au-dkms
It worked OK using both netplan settings and through the GUI
Any update about 18.04?

I personally use (and recommend) the drivers from aircrack-ng.
See aircrack-ng/rtl8812au (@ GitHub)
I recommend to use the version 5.2.20 which introduces a very useful feature: A unique module (88XX) to "rules them all" (chipsets 8821AU, 8812au and 8814au).
In order to install the drivers you need first to install the dependencies:
sudo apt install build-essential
sudo apt install bc
sudo apt install linux-headers-`uname -r`
sudo apt install git
Then download the repository
git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au.git
Locate your shell in the downloaded repository
cd rtl8812au
Switch to the branch 5.2.20:
git checkout v5.2.20
Finally, compile and install:
make
sudo make install
Notice that a even more recent version: Branch 5.3.4,
But I had some problems to get it works with 8814au. Hopefully it will be fixed in the future (if it is not already done).
