Ubuntu 14.10 w/ Kernel 3.16.0-29-generic compatible driver for ASUS Dual-Band Wireless-AC600 Wi-Fi Adapter (USB-AC51)
I didn't clean up any of the warnings and I pretty much did the quickest hacks to get this functioning.
Kernel panics after 1-5 mintues of connection on Xubuntu 14.10. I spent about 15 total hours trying to get ubuntu to crap out logs or some sort of information regarding it and it just refuses. The issue is that Kexec-tools is broken (again) so until that gets fixed I can't be bothered to care. Myabe when Vivid comes out I'll revisit this.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git
git clone https://github.com/likwidoxigen/mt7610u_wifi.git
cd ~/rtl8812au
make
sudo make install
At this point I did
sudo modprobe -v mt7650u_sta
iwconfig
I saw the RA0 adapter but I could only configure it manually not in network-mangager.
Out of frustration I did the "windows fix" and rebooted the thing. That did the trick. It all popped up in network manager like it was supposed to and I could connect like a boss.

My sincerest apologies for the dreadful commit graph, I'm still working on figuring out how git works and leveraging it properly. Thank you for your patience and I apologize for any issues I may have un-intentionally caused.
