I have released a driver for the Realtek RTL8814AU USB wifi adapters!
https://github.com/KevinAdams05/RTL8814AU_Haiku
I have tested it on two adapters, listed below, but several others should also be supported. The join does fail sometimes (maybe 5% of attempts) and the speed isn’t blazing fast, but other than that it seems pretty stable on the 2 devices I have tested.
The package can be downloaded from GitHub or Spritz Depot.

Firmware is included, and is redistributeable per Realtek’s license.
The driver is GPL-2 licensed, Realtek rarely releases wifi driver datasheets (I did email them and request one, but got no response) so I had to use the Linux driver for things like register info.
(The code was written by an LLM)
