Hi @MOemad, and welcome!

In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

Hope you manage!

:bangbang: Tip: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

Note:

Please also provide the output of:

lsusb

Please run the commands with the adapter attached, the info about it is required.

The driver appears to be available in the AUR. I will post both as the second one looks to be newer. The driver can be installed manually (makepkg), via pamac GUI or in terminal using pamac

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git

Be sure to have dkms and the appropriate linux headers for your kernel installed. Reboot after installation and see if it is working.

In terminal:

pamac build 8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git

or

pamac build 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git

I have a wifi dongle on one of my computers, same problem after every update. Then I switched branch to unstable. I think linux-aarhus recommended that, after that no problem with my wifi dongle. Faster driver update. Try to get network connection thru cable or phone, then switch to unstable branch and test it. If it not works simple go back to previous branch.
