Automated Installation Script

Overview

This automated installation script (install.sh) installs the AIC8800 Wi-Fi driver and firmware loader on Linux systems. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo adapters use the standard kernel btusb driver after firmware initialization. For USB device 368b:8d81, it also installs a device-scoped ACL bulk TX ZLP companion module without replacing the distribution's btusb.ko.

• Automatic Secure Boot detection
• Automatic dependency installation
• Automatic driver compilation and installation
• Automatic module loading on boot
• Automatic cleanup of obsolete aic_btusb configuration
• Automatic aic_zlp_quirk handling for the validated 368b:8d81 device
• Wi-Fi-only and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo adapter support from the same branch
• Comprehensive error handling
• Colored output and logging
• Compatible with Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, and derivatives (DKMS supported dkms.conf)
