This week I set up a system with a fresh install of Arch, with NetworkManager as my network manager. Due to a lack of ethernet connection, I want to use a Netgear A7000 network adapter which does not have linux support by the manufacturer. I followed this github guide to install the RTL8814au drivers. The issue I am facing now however, is that I am able to scan for networks with NetworkManager, but I am unable to connect. While trying to connect, it gets stuck on "configuring interface" and asks for the network password twice before timing out. I find this quite curious, since another TP-Link adapter is able to connect to a network with no issues. The Netgear adapter also works without issues on another windows device.
I have tried RTL8812au drivers as well, but that produces the same result.
Some ouputs which might be helpful:
