I’ve checked and have not found anything in aur, maybe can pkg this but i don’t have device to test.
Have you tried chewitt source? Can you prepare a PKGBUILD which works for you?
I do not know how to prepare a PKGBUILD, yet. That would be a nice next goal to learn for me. But it would take some time …
I also tried to compile the driver but it failed. I think the error was something like “no target for aarch64”. I guess that the make file has to be adapted.
Also: Do I need to download the full source code of the vim kernel before to be able to compile this driver? (I know that I can download the vim kernel source from your gitlab page)
Maybe you can give it a try and upload the .ko somewhere and I would gladly do the testing on my device 
I dont know didn’t check the source yet, I need to understand what method is used for this driver.
If it is using dkms then no need to recompile the kernel.
Update: I checked it is the same and needs to be used with dkms.
If you get time then follow this pkgbuild and replace it with rtl8822cs
Ive used this for rtl8723du.
I tried to make it run but still get an error when the package is installed.
Need to do some more fixes to ‘arm.patch’ I guess because the makefile of 8822cs driver is a lot more complex than the one from 8723du.

Sound is broken after yesterdays updates of pulseaudio to 14.2.2.
aplay -l shows my soundcard but Volume Control → Outputs only shows ‘Dummy output’.
Tried to fix it by running /usr/bin/g12_sound.sh and sudo systemctl enable sound --now and reboot but no luck.
Downgraded pulseaudio, pulseaudio-bluetooth and libpulse to 14.2.1 and redid above procedure but nothing changes. Sound is still broken.
Any ideas?
Sound problem fixed!
g12_sound.sh did not find my card correctly. After setting ‘card1’ to the right name in the script, running it, enabling sound and rebooting sound is working again.
Will upgrade pulseaudio to 14.2.2 now and see if it breaks my audio again …
Upgraded to pulseaudio 14.2.2, rebooted and … sound is still working.
Don’t know what broke my audio before but I don’t complain because it is working again
Sorry about the sound issue, there is a confusion in g12 and sm1 sound scripts, vim3 have different routing and other devices still uses old routing.
I don’t know they will update the old audio routing to the new one uses in vim3.
While our sound script is the new routing, I do plan to spilt the package into 2.
Please check the audio routing in your device dts and share it here.
Thank you.
@spikerguy Can you help? I always get the same error when trying to install the rtl8822cs package (see below). I have uploaded my PKGBUILD, arm.patch and dkms.conf here

How is your experience with Linux-kernel 5.11-rcy so far in Manjaro? Stable enough for daily use and also visual glitches compared to linux-vim 5.10.5-1.
I had to downgrade, so I didn’t really try it because in mainline kernel I don’t have sound.
I’m in linux-vim 5.10.5-1
Try NETBSD. My friend installed them on the microwave.
@spikerguy I was able to compile the rtl8822cs driver and now my internal wifi is working! 
I will edit this post later for a short tutorial.
P.S.: No dkms, yet.

So maybe its not a dkms driver.
waiting for your instructions, great work.
I have repeated the whole process I did this morning to write the tutorial. But this time I get an error when I try to activate the driver. So strange …
Maybe the reason is that I just deleted the .ko file using ‘sudo rm’ instead of doing ‘sudo modprobe -r 88x2cs’ and I have some driver parts remaining somewhere. I don’t know …
Anyway, here are the steps I did. Please give me feedback if it works for you.
DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED BELOW! SEE POST #637 INSTEAD
------!!! STOP HERE !!! -----------------------
Howto: Compile and activate RTL8822CS wifi driver
Open a terminal and do the following:
sudo pacman -S base-devel bcgit clone https://github.com/chewitt/RTL8822CS.gitcd RTL8822CS/sed -i 's/$(MAKE) ARCH=$(ARCH) CROSS_COMPILE=$(CROSS_COMPILE) -C $(KSRC) M=$(shell pwd) modules/$(MAKE) -j4 -C $(KSRC) M=$(shell pwd) modules/g' Makefilesed -i 's/$(CROSS_COMPILE)strip $(MODULE_NAME).ko --strip-unneeded/strip $(MODULE_NAME).ko --strip-unneeded/g' Makefilemake- … (wait about 5 min.) …
- Use version number of your kernel in the following steps:
sudo mkdir /lib/modules/5.10.5-1-MANJARO-ARM/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl88x2cs- s
udo cp 88x2cs.ko /lib/modules/5.10.5-1-MANJARO-ARM/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtlwifi/rtl88x2cs sudo modprobe 88x2cs

It looks to me that the single quotes which should surround the commands s/$(MAKE) ... are replaced by back quotes in the webpage. Try to delete these characters in the terminal and use single quotes instead.
