Hi @Riggid , and welcome!
Well, I see it’s there, and I see it uses the rtl8xxxu driver, but that doesn’t quite look right.
I also see there are drivers for the RTL8192EU in the AUR:
$ pamac search RTL8192EU
[...]
rtl8192eu 4.4.1-3 AUR
Driver for the Realtek8192eu chipset.
Which looks correct. So you could try using them with the below command:
pamac build rtl8192eu
TAKE NOTE: dkms
*Edit : Just saw that there is a 8192eu-dkms
pamac build 8192eu-dkms
Really, really hope this helps!

You don’t seem to have your kernels headers installed?
We first have to determine which kernels you have installed, so we can know which kernel headers to install. To find that out, please provide the output of:
mhwd-kernel --listinstalled
And please, in the future, wrap any terminal output in three backrticks (```) when before as well as after pasted text. Like this:
```
This will just render it like this:
Quisque condimentum
mi euismod leo
consectetur nunc dolor a
arcu cursus proin
maximus pellentesque
portaest placerat eget pellentesque placerat placerat ipsum
erat sit elit nec.
instead of like this:
Quisque condimentum mi euismod leo consectetur nunc dolor a arcu cursus proin maximus pellentesque portaest placerat eget pellentesque placerat placerat ipsum erat sit elit nec.
Increasing legibility and making it easier for those trying to provide assistance.

Currently running: 5.15.12-1-MANJARO (linux515)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux515
Yes i will keep that in mind
Cool, so you have the 5.15
pamac install linux515-headers
If successful, you should be able to install the driver now:
pamac build 8192eu-dkms
or, as said
pamac build 8192eu-dkms-git
But, I don’t really recommend a -git version, as they are development versions and can acquire many problems easily causi9ng many headaches.

uhhh…
Mentions modules for the 4.14 kernel.
But
you seem to only have kernel 5.15 installed. And
You seem to already have those headers…
I’m afraid I’m stumped, I think we need reinforcements…
Edit:
Note: This is just shooting in the dark, aiming with my logic and no visuals. In other words, it can easily be incorrect and miss. Or even hit a team member.
Let’s see if we can find any remnants of previous kernels. Please provide the output of:
ls -l /lib/modules/

Considering you’ve only got 15.15
It seems safe to remove the 4.14.260-1-MANJARO directory. So if you’re feeling adventurous, let’s back it up and remove the offending directory and see if anything’s broken:
sudo mv /lib/modules/4.14.260-1-MANJARO /lib/modules/BACKUP.4.14.260-1-MANJARO
Followed by rebooting and seeing if everything works as it should. Report back, because if everything works, but only if it works, we need to remove the backup.
Please note: Only do this if you’ve gotten a lot of cardio lately and you heart is used to working hard and you’re feeling adventurous. And please note that you also do this at your own risk. If it’s borked, it can be fixed again by undoing what you just did from a Live ISO environment. Theoreticlly.

Nothing changed, did i mention it’s a wireless adapter
Riggid:
Nothing changed,
That’s what I was hoping for. Now let’s remove that directory:
sudo rm -fr /lib/modules/BACKUP.4.14.260-1-MANJARO
If this is successful, try installing the drivers again:
pamac build 8192eu-dkms
or
pamac build 8192eu-dkms-git
Followed by reboot ing.

similar thing showed for the one that didn’t have -git
Well, if there are no errors with the -git version, perhaps it’s better to use that.
But note, if you do, you are more vulnerable to it being removed or changed. Sadly, it happens.
So first, let’s remove the non-git one:
pamac remove 8192eu-dkms
Followed be re installing the -git one:
pamac build 8192eu-dkms-git
