Then do it with pacman…

On the addressbar of the file manager, there is the path. (Copy and paste it)

The open a terminal.

Change the directrory:

cd $path

Run pacman:

sudo pacman -U *.tar.zst

But first the headers, then the driver.

Since you have everything there… you can also make the package again.

Keep sure, the version of the headers patch exactly the version of the kernel:

pamac info linux510 | grep "Version"
pamac info linux510-headers | grep "Version"

The same one through which I made VirtualBox and made the packages with …

I guess it will not work… you need a internet connection first. Understand the nature of a rolling release… So use a wired connection for setup, use another wifi stick or card, which is supported out of the box or stick with windows.

Dang it , I dont have any alternative for now !

How about I try an older image or version ?

Linux is not the problem. The problem is the support for your wifi stick. The reason why the package is not recognized must be related to an download error or the new format is not known by this pacman version of the ISO.

You could also install it on a virtuabox, and build there your own iso with that package. But this rather advanced and not beginner friendly. Create a new topic for this if you really want that.

Hmm , I understand … but a small doubt can import drivers from a working debian based linux distro and use them for Manjaro ?

I have tried some debian based Linux which work really nice with my particular wifi stick …

No… the driver must match the kernel.

Well, why Manjaro then? As i see you are not very used to use Linux, rather a newbie. So it is better to stick with Distros which work for you. I used also Debian Ubuntu etc… and learned a lot there. Manjaro aims to be simple, but if it comes to problems like that, then it is not so easy for a beginner without knowledge. I see that everyday on this forum.

If you have a smartphone you could use USB tethering to get an internet connection temporarily. That should work out of the box in manjaro.
