[Richard Elkins <richard.elkins@xxxxxxxxx>]

There are other wireless function kernel objects in
/lib/modules/3.16.0-36-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/ and these
objects are, according to `dpkg -S`, components of package linux-image-
extra-3.16.0-36-generic.  But, that kernel version designation would
change on the next kernel upgrade.

How do we get the 8812au kernel object to be made part of the standard
kernel object library for all future releases?

Title:
  [7392:a822] rtl8812au - Edimax AC-1200 not supported

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I would like to use my Edimax AC-1200 dongle (802.11ac dongle)
  natively, without compiling my own driver. The driver to use does not
  appear to be included in the mainline kernel yet.

  I am currently using the hacked up driver from
  https://github.com/gnab/rtl8812au when I really need to use that
  device.
