Hi @muhammadabir,

Please plug it into your PC, and then in the terminal:

inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width

And provide the output here.

Tip:

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
```

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.

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

As I thought at first, but wanted to confirm, the wireless adapter doesn’t have a driver. But no worries, for it is in the AUR:

$ pamac search RTL8188GU
rtl8188gu-dkms-git                                                                                                                                                                                                                       r14.23b04ff-1  AUR
Driver for Realtek RTL8188GU chipset wireless cards

So can be installed using:

pamac build rtl8188gu-dkms-git

Followed by a reboot.

Edit:

Install the headers first:

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

This will install the headers for all installed kernels, not just the currently running one.
