Not sure what you mean with that.
Use akm which is a package to install kernels.
sudo pacman -S akm
Then it will be in installed and you can install the lts kernel with headers. Reboot and see.
Is it finished? It doesn’t say it’s done.
[orbital@orbital-m32cd ~]$ sudo pacman -S akm

So now go to the menu and find akm and launch it. Then install the lts kernel and headers and reboot after into the lts kernel.
These two options?

Yes…
The network device doesn’t show up - this is not a firewall issue.
After installing the AUR DKMS package,
the device is now showing up.
That window shows connections you have created. It does not show available access points.
That’s a different menu entirely - that’s the Network Manager system tray icon.
Also check the output of

Do you have the usb plugged into a 3.0 port?
USB 3.0 Support
You can try use modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1 to force the adapter run under USB 3.0. But if your adapter/port/motherboard not support it, the driver will be in restart loop. Remove the parameter and reload the driver to restore. Alternatively, modprobe 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=2 let’s it run as USB 2 device.
Notice: If you had already loaded the moduel, use modprobe -r 88x2bu to unload it first.
If you want to force a given mode permanently (even when switching the adapter across devices), create the file /etc/modprobe.d/99-RTL88x2BU.conf with the following content: options 88x2bu rtw_switch_usb_mode=1

This means wifi should be working. It is detected and available.
What does this log file contain?
How do I check that for you?
This happened before on the regular kernel?
I will put the Wifi Adapter to another USB Port and see if it works.
Open the file and look at it. 
Which bit? The build failure? In which case something isn’t working correctly - maybe 5.17 has added support for the 8822BU so there’s partial support?

OK, so this shows that the DKMS module doesn’t work with 5.15 at all, and it also wouldn’t be working with 5.17 either, so it’s a complete “red herring”. Remove it entirely, reboot, and see where things are then.
