Hello! ^^
I'm still a newbie, so it is a newbie how-to. After a lot of testing I was finally able to make this thing work on Hydrogen RC2.
I used a guide from this site with a few modifcations (and xaos52 helped me with it a lot, having hope that it will work while I almost lost it, giving me clues and answering my endless questions, thank you again very much ).

First do:

lsusb

to verify device id and type. If you have exactly as me ID 7392:a812, you don't need to worry about point 3 from ubuntu guide, you can just skip it.

Instead of:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic build-essential git

I used:

sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install build-essential make

So it looked like:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo apt-get install build-essential make
git clone https://github.com/csssuf/rtl8812au.git

modify ~/rtl8812au/Makefile:
replace CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = y with CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n

sudo make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe 8812au

sudo gedit /etc/modules
and add:
8812au

and restart ^^
