Temporary solution until the rtl8812au driver is incorporated into the supported kernel objects, in English:

This temporary (I hope) solution has been verified with an ASUS USB-AC56 wireless adapter running at 5MHz (nice and fast!). Note that you will have to reinstall this solution EVERY time a kernel upgrade occurs.

ASUS, apparently, had provided this kernel object up to kernel 13.10 and then stopped updating their support for some yet-to-be-explained reason. I wrote to them and politely vented.
