After installing the driver, https://github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux the device shows up when doing 'ip a'
4: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether bc:a5:11:38:49:a8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
Relevant lines from interfaces:
# WiFi Example
allow-hotplug wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
wpa_supplicant looks like follows:
root@bela:~# cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
network={
ssid="BelaRouter"
#psk="MyPassword"
psk=bbc878da83e4d2c83a69fe46f5a1aa2da38546faa7d822fa5b073f2daecb5615
}
The router shows up correctly in the scan:

I have tried several times. I'm positive that the SSID and PassPhrase are spelled correctly...
Any ideas of how I can proceed to get success ?
Thank you,
