It doesn’t seem like the driver is actually installed. What’s the output of ls -l /sys/module/ | egrep -i '(rtl|realtek|88)'?
That odd AUR states its there but I can try again?
ls -l /sys/module/ | egrep -i ‘(rtl|realtek|88)’

Can you run pamac build rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git in the command line and see if it shows any errors?
Here’s the output:
pamac build rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git

Ah hit n and then y…done
Oh, wait, sorry, I made a typo, you should answer the first question with n, and then the second one with y.
I found another article that talks about the need for headers…thus
sudo pacman -S linux-headers
Thoughts?
Oh, those weren’t installed? Then you should definitely install them, and build again. On Manjaro, you need to install linuxZZ-headers where ZZ is your kernel version (e.g. Linux 5.4 > linux54-headers).

Hey presto we have lift off!
Thanks so much for your patient help pobrn.
So for anyone with the Asus 56 USB dongle follow pobrn’s instructions as above and add in the headers command at the end as we mention (make sure to check your kernel under settings before proceeding).
Reset your system and look for (wlp…) in your network choices.
I’ll add if anyone is also using Debian let me know I have the solution for that distro.
