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.
