 - The current fork does not work, and there are no plans to fix this:
     - https://github.com/ulli-kroll/rtl8821au/issues/5

 - 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.
