AIR, I had to do some searching to find a driver that would compile under Debian and install it myself. I haven't used the device that required that in quite a while, and it is not needed on my current system, but I think that a usable driver did eventually find its way into the Debian distribution. One of the side-effects of Debian policy is that it takes quite a while for these things to work their way through the system to the distro. >>From what the project page suggests, building and installing the 8821au > driver seems to be easy enough (no patches and no additional firmware > files required) so I think it should be possible to build a debian > package which could be added to a custom debian iso. > >>From what the OP writes however I am not sure if they meant to include the > driver in the official debian distro instead.
