I have a certain no-name AC1200 wifi adapter bought from AliExpress a while ago. It has a driver to install once plugged in when installing on Windows, and within several Linux distros like Debian, Mint, etc., the installation of rtl88x2bu from other authors work flawlessly. However with Arch, the driver rtl88x2bu (my model is rtl8832bu) will not appear. I did blacklist rtw88x2bu when it showed up like the guide said and reinstall the driver, but it did not show up in 'lsmod'. Other wifi adapter works well; I assume it was using rtw88x2bu since the moment I blacklisted the driver, I couldn't use it anymore and had to remove the restriction. Attached below is my 'lsusb':

I'm a new Linux user, so I might stumble somewhere, but this problem has bugged me for over 2 days, still couldn't figure it out.

Hi, try run sudo modprobe 88x2bu then sudo dmesg, and see what happened.

Hello! After looking around, I found out that I haven't installed linux-headers so the dkms install didn't work, but after I downloaded the packages it worked. But I got this issue ever since I started using Linux is that my download speed never exceeds 2MB/s at all. My internet speed is 300Mbps, and my download speed on Steam in Windows on average is 15-25MB/s. Do you know what caused the issue and what the potential solution it might be?
