Can’t get my wifi adapter to work. Adapter is Alfa AWUS1900 rtl8814au.
Tried the two available AUR packages:
Also trying installing from github:
Following their install instructions often leads to errors related to libs or kernel:

Spent hours on this. Anyone know how to handle this?
I’m familiar with Linux but not an expert by any means, so all help and suggestions are appreciated.

So, what does the referenced log file say?
Hello,
i can´t install the driver Realtek 88x2bu-20210702 from morrownr git.
I’m on kernel 6.13.0-rc1-2-cachyos-rc.
~/88x2bu-20210702 main
❯ sudo sh install-driver.sh

No way around that? I can try but I really wanted to keep this kernel.

Looks to me like the aur is not code-compatible with the selected kernel(s).

Yeah, you need to use a GCC-built kernel, e.g. linux-cachyos-gcc.

Got it. I don’t even know if there are a lot of differences between bore and gcc but I’m gonna try it.

There are none, but you can use whichever. It’s recommended to use linux-cachyos-gcc tho because the default kernel may differ from -bore in the future and then will -gcc and -bore differ.
Sorry for wasting your time guys.
I installed the following from aur: rtw88-dkms-git r575.0ea6212-1
lsmod | grep 8814au
rtw_8814au 12288 0
rtw_8814a 258048 1 rtw_8814au
