Your wifi card is listed so no problem there. Your card should be supported by the kernel but is not included as there is module for 8852ae and ce but nor for your be.
So you have to build out of tree from the AUR like @spikerguy said. Luckily there is one source.
Thanks. Do you mean these packages from AUR:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8852be-dkms-git
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw89bt-dkms-git
Read something about the 8852be-dkms-git was meant for Radxa 5B not for Orange Pi 5 Plus - but I could be wrong.
I am green on AUR packages. How to install it on Manjaro-Opi5-Plus-KDE?
The last time I tried to install AUR package was more than 2 years ago and was not successful.
You can activate AUR in the software installer in preferences. I’m on gnome and cannot say in KDE exactly.
Same in KDE Plasma. Activated/Enabled “AUR” repo.
Install base-devel git using:
pamac install base-devel git
Then proceed to install 8852be-dkms-git using pamac GUI.

Will reboot and check whether wifi is detected. Thanks for the help.
Edit: After Reboot, wifi still NOT detected.
Is there a command to activate the 8852be-dkms-git?
Maybe is just bad luck. Aur is not a 100% reliable source as is not checked by Manjaro and depends on the uploader skillness. In addition to this usually there is little information about ( the driver is not for arm64 or pci bus?)
You can force with - modprobe 8852be -
I would like to see these outputs:
I would try building this: GitHub - HRex39/rtl8852be: Realtek Linux WLAN Driver for RTL8852BE . You have enough information to do it properly.
Early I mentioned installation was successful but on inspection of the detailed output, it has error:
==> dkms install --no-depmod 8852be/1.15.10.0.5.0.4 -k 6.9.3-3-MANJARO-ARM

So it might NOT have been successful.

We both have not read the readme properly. You should try this one.
Looks like for kernel-6.10 or newer.
This code will build on any kernel 6.10 and newer as long as the distro has not modified any of the kernel APIs. IF YOU RUN UBUNTU, YOU CAN BE ASSURED THAT THE APIs HAVE CHANGED. NO, I WILL NOT MODIFY THE SOURCE FOR YOU. YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN!!!
This is really confusing. The kernel 6.10 seems that was not there when the code was updated. A user says has builded it with 6.9 kernel and works.
Anyway is 8852ae and works for be, so the manjaro module can be good. Could the pci bus be broken?
Moreover, regulatory.db is not working and yor router can refuse to connect making this effort useless.
With kernel-5.10.110/160 wifi works well.
And with Joshua Riek 6.1.43 kernels it sometimes work (with low speed and at times able to stream 1080p/60 youtube but most could not). Most of the time it does connect for whatever reason(s). The system says WIFI is available but just cannot connect – timeout.
So suspect it is RTL8852BE-CG driver for bsp-kernel-6.1 and may be also with mainline kernel for now.
With pci bus broken I meant in the kernel, not physically.
Maybe you want to give a try to ED2K to see yor wifi-pci card working.
GitHub - edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588: EDK2 UEFI firmware for Rockchip RK3588 platforms
It says PCIe2.1 working and the wifi should work.
Thanks. The edk2-porting/edk2-rk3588 looks a bit complicated to get it to work. Is it Debian/Ubuntu or is it Arch Linux? There are a lot of good info there. Will read up.
So taking an easier way on distro that have used before. Installed the latest Armbian-Noble-Gnome-6.10-rc3 just to see whether:

Bluetooth is available and my old bluetooth mouse sort of work (but not very responsive compared to a cabled mouse).
The edk2 firmware is easy to use. You have to write It to a sd card and the sbc boots from there. Write a Linux live distro to USB and the firmware will load the kernel and the Desktop. Ubuntu is not a good distro for rockchip but fedora and opensuse can do well. You can try then and see if wifi works.
In case wifi works you can use this firmware with Manjaro but that is another history. Maybe you must change uboot or wait for a better Manjaro firmware.
Just checking do you know whether Fedora (mainline kernel) support hdmi audio and vpu hw acceleration?
This sound interesting, being able to boot up from USB drive with edk2 firmware on SD card. Another option to try.
Currently do have a working Manjaro-Opi5Plus-KDE with kernel-6.1.43-joshua-panthor-git which support GPU and VPU hw acceleration.
With edk2 you won’t have Linux hardware drivers, instead you Will have another ones like efifb for the GPU. Of course nothing for VPU.
The idea is to check if you have a working wifi without any problem. If you are sure you have a fully working wifi then you can avoid this trial but reading your posts seems that you haven’t.
With this firmware you can also run Linux with DTB and kernel drivers but i don’t know if there’s any diference with uboot. Manjaro can run this way and is the fastest one for rockchip.
On mainline kernel (Armbian 6.10-rc3) or bsp-kernel-6.1.43-joshua-panthor-git I don’t have a stable WiFi connection yet. It is touch and go (most of the time not connected and even when connected, connection speed is NOT up to par compared to bsp-kernel-5.10.160). When WiFi is available on kernel 6.1.43 it is usable for streaming Youtube up to 1080p/60 usually. Just that it doesn’t get connected successfully all the time.
On bsp-kernel-5.10.160 WiFi is working well or as expected so far.
Flased edk2 firmware on a 1GB SD Card and tried to boot using edk2 firmaware but it will NOT recognize the non-uefi image that I have on NVMe SSD or example Armbian-Noble-Gnome-6.10-rc3 on SD Card inserted into USB-Hub with SD Card reader/writer.
I suppose the edk2 firmware only boot uefi images?
Based on what have been posted in the net, mainline kernel for RK3588 is not ready for prime-time Desktop usage yet. Many basic functions are not ready yet but it has come a long way, for example now that Panthor (GPU hw acceleration) is available for mainline kernel.
For example Manjaro-Opi5Plus-KDE-6.9.3-3 image, have NO access to USB 3.0 Ports yet but can access NVMe SSD. But in general stable and usable depending on your needs.
The WiFi issue I am facing might be unique to Orange Pi 5 Plus using the so called official WiFi module from Xulong Software RTL8852BE-CG. Other Orange Pi 5 Plus users using another WiFi module does not seem to have the WiFi connection or WiFi stability issue.
What did happen with the live USB?
Haven’t have a chance to try yet. Any OS distro to recommend to try that have development for RK3588?
After reading the RK3588 Mainline Status
mainline-status.md · main · hardware-enablement / Rockchip RK3588 upstream enablement efforts / Notes for Rockchip 3588 · GitLab and Fedora on Rock 5B not sure whether it will have a better outcome than Manjaro-Opi5Plus-KDE-6.9.3-3 or Armbian-Noble-Gnome-6.10-rc3.
On Armbian-Noble-Gnome-6.10-rc3 on USB 3.0 ports are working but no HDMo Audio/Headphone Audio output and Chromium with vpu hw acceleration (support up to 1080p but no audio). WiFi is recognize but will not connect successfully.
For WiFi (RTL8852BE-CG) currently as far as I can tell, Armbian did a patch (from Xulong Software) to their kernel 6.1.43-vendor-rk3588, this might be the best chance of getting WiFi on kernel-6.1.43.
good news for 3588.

Hi @SickOS,
Update on edk2 firmware on SD Card and Fedora_Rawhide_KDE on USB. Current kernel is 6.10-rc4 after first update/upgrade.
Managed to boot up.
WiFI is recognized but will NOT Connect, similar to Armbian-Noble-Gnome-6.10-rc4.
