I have a usb-wifi adapter that shows under lsusb as
Bus 001 Device 025: ID 0bda:1a2b Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188GU 802.11n WLAN Adapter (Driver CDROM Mode)
I built https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8188gu-dkms-git but it did not produce the module expected
> modprobe rtl8188gu
modprobe: FATAL: Module rtl8188gu not found in directory /lib/modules/6.9.7-arch1-1
so after a comment on that page I installed https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8xxxu-dkms-git
:> lsmod | grep rtl
rtl8xxxu 303104 0
btrtl 32768 1 btusb
mac80211 1597440 2 iwlmvm,rtl8xxxu
bluetooth 1101824 16 btrtl,btmtk,btintel,btbcm,btusb
cfg80211 1363968 4 iwlmvm,iwlwifi,mac80211,rtl8xxxu
But after reboot it does not associate with the network device.
