Please help in installing the wifi driver.

Does the LAN adapter work ?
Can you install the latest kernel (5.19.xx) ?

Mirdarthos · 3 October 2022 08:08

Hi @aqdasak, and welcome!

From the accepted answer on this page it would seem you need the rtw89 drivers. And lucky for you they seem to be in the AUR:

$ pamac search rtw89
[...]
rtw89-dkms-git                                                                                                                                                                                                            1:r148.4dc5371-3              AUR
Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device

But for dkms driver packages, you need the kernel headers. So run the following in the terminal:

pamac install $(pamac list --installed --quiet | grep "^linux" | grep "^linux[0-9]*[-rt]*$" | awk '{print $1"-headers"}' ORS=' ')

This will install all headers for the currently installed kernels.

Next, install the drivers mentioned above:

pamac build rtw89-dkms-git

Cross your heart, say a little prayer, hold your thumb, and reboot.

aqdasak · 3 October 2022 09:49

pamac build rtw89-dkms-git run successfully but didn’t work.
askubuntu answer worked successfully. Thanks a lot.

Mirdarthos · 3 October 2022 09:53

Did you install the headers first, as per my answer?

Mirdarthos:

This will install all headers for the currently installed kernels.

I’m glad it worked though.

aqdasak · 3 October 2022 10:11

Yes I had installed the headers.
It is my first day using manjaro and I thought I had to give up using manjaro. I didn’t expected such a quick reply. You people are awesome. Thank you all

aqdasak · 3 October 2022 10:15

Yes LAN adapter was working.
I didn’t tried the latest kernel, I am on 5.15.

Mirdarthos · 3 October 2022 12:01

Just take note of this then:

When Update Manager offers and installs a later kernel version, also known as linux-image, after the requested reboot, you must rebuild the driver:
cd rtw89
make clean
git pull
make
sudo make install
sudo modprobe rtw89pci
Please retain the rtw89pci directory and these instructions for that time.
