WIFI broken after last update

Hi, i’m sort of a newbie here.

Yesterday i did a update (sudo pacman -Syyu), and after rebooting, i have no longer wifi.
I connect to wifi via a TP-Link TL WN822N(EU) antenna, which uses rtl-8192eu driver (rtl8192eu-dkms 5.6.4.r293.gf2fc8af-1 installed).

I tried changing to lts kernel, after reading this post . After doing so, i can boot on lts and wifi works properly, but i don’t have nvidia drivers installed and screen resolution is horrible.

So here i’m stuck: no wifi drivers in kernel 6.7 ; no graphic drivers in lts kernel. I’m not sure how to continue, as i really don´t know if i should try and install nvidia on lts and use it; or maybe it’s better to install wifi drivers in 6.7. I really don’t know what implies to use a lts kernel. What would you recommend?

Here is the output of

As you can see, on LTS i have:

Device-2: TP-Link TL-WN822N Version 4 RTL8192EU driver: rtl8192eu
type: USB
IF: wlan0 state: up mac:
IF-ID-1: enp0s20f0u9 state: unknown speed: -1 duplex: half
mac:

and on 6.7 i don´t.

Thanks for your help!

You most likely need to install the nvidia-lts package.

Thanks, that solved the nvidia issue. Everything working fine on LTS now.
One more question: is there something else i should “update” to work on lts, such as we did with the nvidia driver? Other program/driver that i should change to “-lts” version?

I don’t think there is anything else.

You don’t need to pass second y - sudo pacman -Syu will be enough.
