package/rtl8821au: switch to abperiasamy fork
Switching to the rtl8821au fork at github.com/abperiasamy/rtl8812AU_8821AU_linux.
- The current fork we are using is maintained by 1 person.
- The current fork does not work, and there are no plans to fix this:
- https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au/issues/5
- https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au/issues/6
- In practice, the current fork has numerous instability issues.
- Our lab switched to the abperiasamy fork a couple months ago and have been very happy with it.
- The contributor list for the abperiasamy fork contains 21 well-known individuals in the community.
- The raspberry pi community recommends the abperiasamy fork and uses it extensively.
- Firmware blobs are not necessary with the new fork.
