Techkey USB wifi adapter not detected

I'm installing Arch Linux on my desktop PC, and don't have the option to use ethernet. The wifi adapter I'm using is plugged into the USB port, and is a Techkey Dual Band Wireless USB Adapter. It's not being detected in iwctl, but shows up in lsusb. Any help would be appreciated, for setting this up. I'm not sure if I need drivers or something, but I've searched all around for this and haven't found anything.

Not enough information. Post the output of lsusb so we can see what device this is.

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
