Hi @jithinjames, and welcome!

What specifically have you tried?

I see rtl8188fu drivers are in the AUR.

$ pamac search 8188fu

8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git                                                                                                                                                                                                               r84.b01ebdf-1  AUR
Kernel driver module for Realtek RTL8188FU and RTL8188FTV Wireless 802.11n USB 2.0 adapters (device id 0bda:f179)
8188fu-dkms-git                                                                                                                                                                                                                          r8.1d12cae-3   AUR
Kernel driver module for Realtek RTL8188FU and RTL8188FTV Wireless 802.11n USB 2.0 adapters (device id 0bda:f179)

So, in theory installing them should be as easy as running, from the terminal:

pamac build 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git

But it seems that is the one to have failed, so rather try the other option:

pamac build 8188fu-dkms-git

The dkms part is important. That means it will last across kernel rebuilds, so I’m guessing you don’t have to reinstall is with every update.

Hope this helps!

I did it many time but this error keeps comming

“Error! The module/version combo: 8188fu-r97.e9b34e3 is not located in the DKMS tree.
Error while configuring 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git
Error: 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git: command failed to execute correctly”

I tried building both drivers but same error keeps poping up

What command failed to execute correctly? Please post the full build log.

Tip: When pasting terminal output on Discourse forums, one can either…

  • Use the Preformatted text </> toolbar button–NOT the Quote " button.

  • Add three backticks ` above and below the text (Markdown):

    ```
    type or paste code here
    ```

  • Use HTML:

    <pre><code>
    type or paste code here
    </pre></code>
