So I've been spending a few hours trying to get this wireless card to work in my Linux VM, but I've been having the most issues I've ever experienced.

I've cloned several Github repositories in an attempt to compile the drivers on Linux to get this card to work, but no luck.

The latest issue I'm having here is that the USB WiFi card will appear in lsusb for just a few seconds, and then it disappears, as shown below:

[root:...ents/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux]# lsusb 
Bus 001 Device 034: ID 0bda:8812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8812AU 802.11a/b/g/n/ac WLAN Adapter
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[root:...ents/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux]# lsusb 
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0e0f:0002 VMware, Inc. Virtual USB Hub
Bus 002 Device 002: ID 0e0f:0003 VMware, Inc. Virtual Mouse
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
[root:...ents/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux]# 

I figure there's nothing else I can try beyond this point if the system itself can't consistently recognize the USB device. Now I'm using the new Macbook with the touch bar and a lightning port -> USB adapter, and passing this to the VM. Not sure if this could have anything to do with it, but it's extremely annoying.

I haven't run into any errors when running make and make install when trying to compile the drivers on several people's githubs.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Can never get wireless to work permanently for some reason. Always breaking and it seems like a constant once-a-month battle.
