What's the output of "ip a" afterwards (sanity check, ppl. get confused about which up/down value matters…)

I don't have parallel windows installation
]]>Ceterum censeo, in case you've a parallel windows installation, see the 3rd link below.
]]>I have a USB wifi dongle TP-LinkAC600.
It had worked fine for a year with https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8 … -dkms-git/ .
But now, for some reason, it stopped working with iwctl.
Specifically, it seems I cannot bring the device up. Any ideas of what I could do, please?
