Re: [SOLVED]wi-fi does not work After update

Consult /var/lib/dkms/rtl88x2bu/5.13.1/build/make.log for more information.

But likely needs to be patched for 6.16, try the lts kernel (and headers)

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … ory_domain isn't relevant here.

The driver is outdated, but it's good that I can just google "RTL8812BU aur" :^)

Thank you for helping
