Alfa Mini WIfi Adapter, hangs the arch system when it is plugged in.

Hello everyone, I used to have an ethernet cable which I used to access the internet. Now I bought a Wifi Wireless Adaptor and I installed its drivers but whenever I plug it in, the arch system starts lagging and is unresponsive. What are the commands that I have to paste here, please ask I will provide then. Thanks. Plus; The drivers that I installed work perfectly fine in other distribution like kali and mx linux, as my friend has one and the USB adapter works perfectly on that. Thanks in advance

Alfa appears to sell a lot of network products, what is the exact type and model of yours ?

Where did you get those drivers and how did you install them ?

The output of lsusb -tv with the adapter plugged in may also be helpful .

Do things work better if the adapter is already plugged in before booting ?

Welcome to archlinux forums.

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

clean chroot building not flexible enough ?
