[SOLVED] DKMS for Realtek RTL88x2bu not working Kernel 6.1.7-arch1-1

Hi.
I cant get my WLAN-Stick to work.
Udev isn't loading a driver and the link is not showing up to be configured.

lspci is not showing anything.

This is what I have so far:

[231495.377835] usb 3-4: new high-speed USB device number 10 using xhci_hcd
[231495.518326] usb 3-4: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=b812, bcdDevice= 2.10
[231495.518331] usb 3-4: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
[231495.518333] usb 3-4: Product: 802.11ac NIC
[231495.518334] usb 3-4: Manufacturer: Realtek
[231495.518336] usb 3-4: SerialNumber: 123456

# lsusb -v | grep Realtek
Bus 003 Device 010: ID 0bda:b812 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL88x2bu [AC1200 Techkey]
  idVendor           0x0bda Realtek Semiconductor Corp.
  iManufacturer           1 Realtek

Any help would be very welcome.

Thanks

Use/reinstall https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl88x2bu-dkms-git to pull the latest git tree which claims to support 6.1

Many thanks for your time and answer.

I took decision to go for a stick with a different chip set, according to this article:
