#

wait why are you using this one

#

doesnt the usual 88x2bu driver work?

#

t4u plus

#

okaok

#

i have a t3u

#

so

#

what you wanna do

#

is

#

scrap that

#

one

#

and

#

sudo pacman -S base-devel
git clone https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver
cd RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver

make
sudo make install```
#

modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1 - to force it to run under usb 3
change 1 to 2 for usb 2

#

taken from this post btw

#

oh yeah and install
sudo pacman -S kernel_name-headers
i.e linux-headers for normal kernel
linux-zen-headers for zen kernel etc etc

#

also continue in here @copper oasis

#

unplug the other one

#

plug the t4u plus one in

#

show ip link

#

lsmod | grep 88x2bu

#

show

#

modprobe -r 88x2bu
modprobe 88x2bu

#

loads a module, in this case a driver
modprobe -r unloads it

#

now

#

ip link set wlan0 up

#

and try to reconnect

#

network manager doesnt show the interface?

#

unplug and plug it back in

#

modprobe -r 88x2bu
