Missing Firmware Modules

Hello everyone,
I'm new to Arch and this will be my first post so if there is any command I can use to help you get a better understanding of what I have going on just let me know. I am trying to do a couple things that require missing firmware

'ast xhci_pci qed qla2xxx wd719x qla1280 aic94xx bfa'

.

The first was I was installing the drivers for a Alfa wifi card AWUS1900 found in this AUR package rtl8814au-dkms-git and second was install OpenCL. When I used Arch Install I thought I had chosen Linux Hardened

uname -r  6.10.3-arch1-2

I've been trying to solve this by google and chatgpt but I am worried since I am working with kernel modules and firmwares I might break something. For OpenCL I get:

lscpu | grep "Model name"
Model name:                           Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8665U CPU @ 1.90GHz

and I want OpenCL to run hashcat and the wifi driver for my card AWUS1900 that I had running on a previous install of Arch but this time I'm running Wayland and this is the first issue I've had. Any help would be greatly appreciated

To clarify I can't get any of this stuff to install and it seems to me it's because of missing firmware. sudo pacman -S linux-firmware fails as well.

Solved: Grub boot options select advanced and then linux-hardened. after was able to install drivers for wifi card and its working

Do you actually have any of that hardware? Cause they're not relevant for rtl8814au
