Hi, I have just installed Endeavour OS on my PC. I use TP- Link Archer TX10UB that works fine on my Windows 11 Install. But it doesn’t work in Endeavour OS since I have installed it recently.
Can you post the command from the installed sysytem.
inxi -Na
Edit: Is it a USB dongle? I think it could be RTL8851BU
Edit: If so you will need to install the package from the AUR and reboot.
yay -S rtl8851bu-dkms-git
Edit: Right now I’m just guessing while you check. 
Yeah, It is a usb dongle. I tried using the rtl8851bu drivers from Aur but it doesn’t work. I think the dongle doesn’t switch from USB Mass Storage Mode to WiFi mode.

Did you look at this?
There are also some other packages you could try.
Nothing works. 2 of them can’t be build.
I’m not sure why the AUR package isn’t working for you. When you install it does the WiFi not show up in the output for inxi -Na
I’ve never had to use usb_modeswitch in the past for any usb WiFi dongle. Usually they always work.
Nope. BTW how did you find out the wifi chipset. It took me hours to find it.

I think the chipset is different or the driver doesn’t work properly.

If you notice on Port 009: Dev 007, it shows driver [None]. I think thats the issue. Also the Bluetooth doesn’t work.
I was going by this:
Realtek 802.11ax WLAN Adapter Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003
Edit: Okay i did find it should be supported but I’m just not sure the manufacturer of the chip?
Supported operating systems include Windows 11/10/7 and Linux (Kernel 3.10 and later)
Edit: I actually got the info from here.
@Paul0507
Have you tried it in other usb ports?
Edit: Maybe try this one.
Edit: This one is for usb adapters.
rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git
Nope, this doesn’t work either.
Well my only suggestion would be to try another WiFi adapter that is known to work. Some of these newer chips with WiFi 6 and 7 are not always working such as mediatek. Could be others also.
Any suggestions you would like to recommend?
I don’t off hand. I suggest doing some research to see which newer WiFi chips do work. I know Intel has some issues with theirs and also Mediatek has some that also don’t have any modules to make them work. Even the Qualcomm has had some issues getting them to work.
I would probably suggest an Intel AX 200 or AX 210 off the top of my head. But probably the AX 200 which is WiFi 6.
Thanks for help!
