@canadagolffan: are you able to help test a new rtl8812au driver?

gordboy has announced that he has made available a new v5.2.9 driver (the current driver in these builds is v5.1.5 from paspro).

I've uploaded build #0717r: RPi2

This is the same as #0717 but with the following changes:
1. v5.2.9 rtl8812au driver from gordboy
2. PR12513 from garbear (many thanks, Peripherals button is working again!)

As the gordboy driver is so new I'd like to get some feedback to determine if it's better/worse/same as v5.1.5, and then make a decision about changing repository (again). Until then, regular/scheduled builds will continue with paspro and v5.1.5.

Updating to 0717R as you suggested:

Forcing back an AC connection, its working great! 15 minutes in, doing some seeking, pausing, rewinding, etc, I have not yet seen one pause/hang. (add another 30 minues of playing, and still not one hang/pause)

Iperf tests also giving 250+ mbps, so its definitely an AC connection.

Tests were done on ~11mbps h264 and a 24 mbps h264 mkvs

No log attached, but if you want one, I can. No pings dropped either.

Wish others could test though, as its wireless, lots of other factors, lol. But as of now, I would say its perfect performance.
