Hi @qiujiangkun

sudo dkms install --no-depmod rtl8814au/5.8.5.1.r161.g6f80699 -k 5.15.113-1-MANJARO

I realize there are multiple ways to compile and install the driver but the method I support is the one spelled out in the Installation Steps in the README. Recommend you clean up and follow the Installation Steps.

One last word. I see you are using gcc 13. I test with and support gcc 9 through 12 but I am not there yet with 13.

Regards

[JakkuSakura]

Thanks. I'll try the approach in readme and gcc12. The version in AUR is broken after the upgradation though

[morrownr]

upgradation

I certainly try to support Manjaro users but am not that familiar with some of the details of that distro and i am not the one that handles the AUR version. I'm not sure what you mean by "upgradation" so let me know what that means and I'll try to help.

Two more things:

1. I am going on the road in the morning and may not be available for a few days.
2. The reason I try to get users to use the installation steps per README is that the installation script, install-driver.sh, has a lot of extra code in it to detect and handle errors that may come up and often it can tell us what the problem is right on the screen.

Regards

[JakkuSakura]

Manjaro and Arch are rolling release version, and they don't care about AUR compatibility. Sometimes upgrading kernel breaks something. I'll try the recommended method and potential fix that AUR package

[JakkuSakura]

I installed 8814 with recommended method on 5.10, then reinstall/upgrade linux with pacman, "dkms install" are triggered with proper environments and it compiles. ==> dkms install --no-depmod rtl8814au/5.8.5.1 -k 5.15.115-1-MANJARO

Hope this helps someone
