yay -Rc r8169

and then

yay -S rtl8192eu-git

reboot. :point_up:

AUR rtl8192eu-git is kinda outdated, Last Updated: 2020-10-06.
I’d prefer to use updated driver & lts or latest kernel doesnt matter because if I use outdated driver then I’ll always face issues here & there :upside_down_face:

Did you try it before already? I thought you wanted your Wifi to work? It doesn’t show up, so it must be a driver issue (again). Certain preferations imho go second, after a working WiFi. Or. No?

Jay Bhole!

Followed same steps again, don’t know what changed now wifi working :man_shrugging:

(I didn’t install driver from AUR)

Now shows no3


sudo dkms autoinstall

Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD

Same output as before. When checked with live usb it gives no such output.

sudo dkms status

on system the output is

Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD
rtl8192eu/1.0, 5.19.7-arch1-1, x86_64: installedDeprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD

on live usb it is

broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271, 5.19.4-arch1-1, ×86_64: installed
nvidia/515.65.01, 5.19.4-arch1-1, ×86_64: installed

Yeah at least now the wifi is working :slight_smile: & I don’t face any issues functionally for that Deprecated feature: REMAKE_INITRD related to dkms (dkms-3.0.6). But I’ll search for how to fix that as well.
