Did you mean, Thanks, @Xephon
yes. I did.
Thanks @Xephon
However , I’ve tried everything I know and it still only works with the older adapter. I can’t get the newer one to work
Did dkms module compile without errors?
If it did, did you do sudo modprobe 88x2bu?
It seemed to compile w/out errors and add/remove shows it installed- but - modprobe: FATAL: Module 88x2bu not found in directory /lib/modules/6.4.9-1-MANJARO
Can you provide output of lsmod | grep 88?

You did install dkms first, did you?
It seems that dkms module failed to compile
how do I fix that ?
Can you remove it from pamac, then rebuild it and post a build log here?
I guess what you mean is remove it/uninstall it from add/remove. I can do that but have no idea how to rebuild it
I removed it .
Now push “Build” button again
Log will be accessible from an arrow button in the lower-right corner of pamac (it’s the real name of Add/Remove Software)

You need to install linux64-headers, dkms, git first
Then build again and provide a new log
It seems you have forgotten already. Please format terminal output properly. If we can’t read it, we can’t help.
Carry on…
@ Xephon
where do I get this header .git from
Yochanan - sorry I’m just not familiar enough here at the forum to know when I need to do certain things or when I don’t for the various inputs. I’ll try to remember now about terminal output .
git without a dot in front of it. Type it in pamac search field, it should be there
pamac shows git 2.41.0-2 is installed
