Hi, a friend advised me to move to Manjaro. So I downloaded the version with GNU.
But my wifi device wasn’t enabled. I’ve installed the driver but nothing is shown in the wifi interface.
Here are some command that may help you to advice me:
I throught it didn’t worked properly so I’ve tried using modprobe like this : modprobe r8168
Here is the outpout :
pamac search r8168

I would try with the second one mentioned - but as it is dkms you need kernel headers for your installed kernels - the best way of knowing is to use mhwd-kernel
mhwd-kernel -li
Then install the headers for the listed kernels e.g. linux510
mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.10.70-1-MANJARO (linux510)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux510
So, for now everything is ok.
Then I installed header for my new kernel
sudo pacman -Syu linux510-headers
