Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

Yesterday, I rebooted my computer for the first time after updating the rtl8188 via pacman -Syu. After the system initiated, my wifi, sound and the sudo command weren't working.
The pulseaudio service fails to start and so the Network manager. The sudo command don't prompt asking for the password and closing the terminal says that the process is running.
After uninstalling it, everything works just fine.

I'm new on this, just started to use recently, so if anyone knows what's going on, I would be grateful.

Re: Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

What repository provides rtl8188?  8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git is in AUR so can not be installed or updated with pacman -Syu.

Re: Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

Those modules don't work with 5.11 kernel.
There is no official repository that has a driver for rtl8188 module, but they could add some [archlinuxfr] to pacman.conf, like many 'Ultimate Arch Install 100% Working Manuals' suggest.

Re: Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

@finoderi the package builds for 5.11.2-arch1-1 is the issue at runtime?

==> dkms install --no-depmod -m 8188fu -v r87.6ac279a -k 5.11.2-arch1-1
==> depmod 5.11.2-arch1-1

I removed install="${_pkgname}-dkms.install" as it only repeats steps performed by DKMS hooks and changed the license to GPL2 to match upstream but those should have no impact on it building.

pacman -Qi 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git

To confirm 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git was not installed as a package.

dkms status

See what modules dkms is aware of.

modinfo  8188fu

Check if the module is built for the current kernel.

Re: Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

OK. Sorry for the misinformation, it turned out the module that didn't work was rtl8812au, not rtl8188fu.
It built without any problems, it just couldn't install on 5.11 kernel. But gordboy is awesome and he already changed the source code. So everything is working fine again.
in case someone searched for it - https://github.com/gordboy/rtl8812au-5.9.3.2
Just put the folder in /usr/src/ and update the kernel.

Sorry, I wasn't able to answer sooner for personal motives.
It's built with dkms, but the things I've mentioned stop working if I boot with the usb dongle. Works fine if I reboot without it.
$ pacman -Qi 8188fu-kelebek333-dkms-git

Re: Problems with rtl8188fu-kelebek333

I missed rtl from the module name,  the command should be:

modinfo rtl8188fu

Please post the journal for one boot with the dongle attached,  and one without it attached.
