This adapter uses the AIC8800D80 chipset and was previously not
matched by the fdrv probe. Add vendor/product IDs so the driver
binds and both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (via standard btusb) work.
Tested on Linux 7.1.6 with TP-Link AX900 TL-XDN7000H.
Build the existing monitor transmit path by default. Validate the radiotap header before parsing it and align the transmit prototype with netdev_tx_t.

Do not send monitor frames through the normal data path when simultaneous monitor/data support is disabled. Handle monitor skb allocation failures without dereferencing NULL or dropping the original combined-mode frame.
Fixes#83
- Disable automatic creation of debuginfo packages to fix issue #77.
- Require usb_modeswitch as package dependency instead of file dependency to fix issue #77.
Pin the Wi-Fi package to the current main code commit, ship both maintained modules and all firmware variants, and remove obsolete Bluetooth packaging.
Install mode-switch dependencies, support a69c:572f, avoid redundant generic headers when a usable kernel build tree exists, and discover DKMS logs dynamically. Addresses installer portions of #28, #55, #65, #66, and #68.
Follow-up to d66e5cb which shipped fw/aic8800{,D80N,D80X2,DLN} but
forgot to update install.sh — so users still got only aic8800D80
firmware installed and the "Pandora" mode-switch config was missing.
install_firmware:
- Loop over all fw/aic8800* variants instead of hard-coding aic8800D80
- Install usb_modeswitch/1111_1111 to /etc/usb_modeswitch.d/1111:1111
verify_installation: count installed firmware variants instead of
checking for the single aic8800D80 directory.

Sync WiFi driver, firmware, and DKMS configuration from the bluetooth
branch (which itself is radxa USB driver_fw + Linux 6.16/6.17/6.19
kernel compat). aic_btusb and Bluetooth-specific install.sh logic
are intentionally excluded from main.
Driver updates:
- Add Linux kernel 6.12-6.19 compatibility support
- Add Linux 6.16 timer_container_of and wakelock API support
- Add Debian 6.1.0-26 backport support
- Add USB device ID 368b:8d81 support
- Add AIC8800DW device support
- Add TP-Link Archer TX1U Nano support (USB_VENDOR_ID_TENDA_V2:0x0110)
- Add TENDA series device support (U2, U11, U11 PRO)
- Add AIC8800FC_CUS1-6 series support
- Add AIC8800M80_CUS0-8 series support
- Add UGREEN AIC8800D80 adapter support
- Add Mercury (TP-Link OEM) support
- Allow 1 or 3 USB interfaces (BT-disabled SKUs report 1)
New compat modules:
- aicwf_compat_8800d80n.{c,h}
- aicwf_compat_8800dln.{c,h}
Firmware:
- New: fw/aic8800/, fw/aic8800D80N/, fw/aic8800D80X2/, fw/aic8800DLN/
- Updated: fw/aic8800D80/, fw/aic8800DC/
install.sh:
- Loop over all fw/aic8800* variants instead of hard-coding aic8800D80
- Install usb_modeswitch/1111_1111 config for "Pandora" clone adapter
- Verify firmware install by counting variants
dkms.conf: pass KDIR explicitly to make for cross-kernel builds.
Excluded from this commit (BT-only, kept on bluetooth branch):
- drivers/aic8800/aic_btusb/
- modprobe/aic8800-bt.conf
- diagnose_bt.sh
- install.sh btusb auto-load / hciconfig / bluez status checks

Device 368b:8d84 is an AIC 8800D80 variant not included in the USB
device table. Add it as AIC8800M80_CUS0 alongside the other M80 CUS
variants; it maps to PRODUCT_ID_AIC8800D81 like its siblings.
Tested on kernel 6.19.8-arch1 with a physical dongle (Bus 001 Device
005: ID 368b:8d84 AICSemi AIC 8800D80).
Added USB VID/PID for TP-Link vendor (0x2357) and Mercury product (0x014b)
to support WiFi adapters that re-enumerate with these IDs after firmware
loading. The device is recognized as AIC8800D81 chip with RX aggregation.
