As stated above you already have the driver in the kernel.
No other package should be needed.
But you can try rtl88x2bu-dkms-git if you want.
ok, it wouldn’t work so I installed the dkms git from the AUR. still doesn’t work but shows up in inxi with driver as NA. then shows module r8169 .

‘’’ still doesn’t work
I remember something about having to blacklist r8169
```
I’d like to continue to try and install the drivers for my newest adapter and see if the wifi speed improves . I installed r8125-dkms (9.011.01-1) , but after looking back at some old posts and threads I think it was unneccesary ; but I don’t know how to check to see if I have the right kernel modules and headers installed - I think that is what I need to find out and a good place to start ???
thanks
it is not working - both adapters are plugged in . what info do you need ??

Try to install rtl88x2bu-dkms-git from AUR.
rtl88x2bu-cilynx-dkms-git was not updated since January of the last year.
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)
