Adapt the preflight protection from #128 without its firmware backup or other installer policy changes. Build a clean private copy against the running kernel before firmware replacement or DKMS removal. Treat log initialization failure as an error and add mocked main-flow regressions.

# 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, Arch Linux, and derivatives (DKMS supported `dkms.conf`)
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Clone the repository and download the script, make the script executable
|
|
git clone https://github.com/shenmintao/aic8800d80.git && cd aic8800d80 && chmod +x install.sh
|
|
|
|
# Run the installation
|
|
sudo ./install.sh
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
On Arch Linux and derivatives, the installer uses the existing pacman package
|
|
database. It does not refresh that database or upgrade the system. If pacman
|
|
cannot download dependencies because the database is stale, run
|
|
`sudo pacman -Syu` yourself, reboot if the kernel was updated, and rerun the
|
|
installer with headers matching the running kernel.
|
|
|
|
Before replacing installed firmware or DKMS modules, the installer cleans and
|
|
test-builds a temporary copy of the driver for the running kernel. A test-build
|
|
failure leaves the existing firmware, DKMS registration and installed source
|
|
untouched. A successful installation compiles again through DKMS, so this check
|
|
adds build time. Logs are written to `/var/log/aic8800-install.log` with mode
|
|
`0644` after the root check. This check does not provide automatic rollback if a
|
|
later installation step fails.
|
|
|
|
The USB modules declare the complete firmware set shipped in `fw/`, including
|
|
configuration files and extension patches, so initramfs tools can include those
|
|
files when they include the modules. Rerun the installer after updating the
|
|
driver to rebuild DKMS modules and refresh the current kernel's initramfs.
|
|
If the adapter only works after reloading its modules after boot, check that
|
|
the initramfs contains its `aic8800*/` firmware directory (issue #117).
|
|
Custom firmware paths supplied with `aic_fw_path` still need to be included
|
|
in the initramfs by the administrator.

# Diagnostic Build Script (Optional)
|
|
|
|
This script is used to diagnose build issues with the AIC8800D80 driver. Useful for identifying the root cause of the build failure.
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Make the script executable and run it
|
|
chmod +x diagnostic_build.sh && sudo ./diagnostic_build.sh
|
|
```
