I am having an issue with my network card on the latest version (Ethernet doesn’t work but wifi does). I am almost sure that it’s the problem source.
I am using the rtw89-dkms-git
Is it possible to downgrade that aur package ?
If i can access the cache (like the downgrade command) maybe it’s still there ?
How did you build/install/upgrade it?
If you used yay, the old packages will be in ~/.cache/yay
If you don’t have a cached copy of the old package you may be able to build an older version by modifying the PKGBUILD.

I use pamac but for what i have searched tha aur packages are in tmp folder so no good luck for me. I guess my last solution is to modify the PKGBUILD
It has been ages since I used pamac but I think it may put them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg
Good practice IMHO to explicity set an AUR helper build directory, so that all your AUR package builds are persisted.
When you do this it is simply a matter of sudo pacman -U [AUR package] to downgrade to a specific version of a previously built AUR package.
Otherwise, as @dalto pointed out, you’ll have to manually mess around with the PKGBUILD, which is not ideal.

From man yay
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
AURDEST
Can be set to configure the build directory.
Overridden by --builddir.
Is it like setting something like:
AURDEST=/var/cache/yay/pkg
in /etc/environment ?
To permanently persist any yay setting setting use --save.
yay --builddir [path] --save
This will create ~/.config/yay/config.json, if it doesn’t already exist, and update the particular setting.
All helpers should have a similar build directory setting, for trizen it is --clone-dir and the config file is ~/.config/trizen/trizen.conf.

Great!
Thank you!
That driver package is for a wifi card, so it doesn’t affect Ethernet. This means it’s not the cause of an issue with your Ethernet connection.
This is another example of an XY Problem - instead of asking about an issue with your attempted solution, why not ask about the original problem?
