No wifi since update to kernel 5.10

I use a usb wifi dongle. The driver it uses is 8192eu and I have the package installed 8192eu-dkms (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8192eu-dkms/)

With Kernel 5.9 and before it worked fine, but when installing 5.10 it stopped working.

This is what the log says:

[2021-01-01T11:01:00+0000] [ALPM] running '70-dkms-install.hook'...
[2021-01-01T11:01:00+0000] [ALPM-SCRIPTLET] ==> dkms install --no-depmod -m 8192eu -v 114.6d2705d -k 5.10.3-arch1-1

[2021-01-01T11:01:37+0000] [ALPM] running '90-mkinitcpio-install.hook'...

I had to downgrade the kernel to 5.9, but this was not working with the last nvidia drivers, which I also had to downgrade.

I wonder if there's any solution or if I just have to wait for the package owner to update it.

Thanks

Update 8192eu-dkms to 128.b7faffd-1 which includes 5.10 support?

Re: No wifi since update to kernel 5.10

This is a git package, even if it's not labeled that way, so when it was updated in the AUR doesn't mean much. Last version is from the 18th of Dec.

What do you mean? The last git commit for 8192eu-dkms dates back to Aug 23 2020. Or are you talking about a repo elsewhere?

Re: No wifi since update to kernel 5.10

No, the last commit is 7 days old.
https://github.com/Mange/rtl8192eu-linu … ltek-4.4.x

The update of the AUR package DOES NOT MATTER because it fetches a git branch and the updates to that git repo are the relevant ones that provide patches for recent kernels and GCC 10
