works on lts-6.12.15

Thank you for informing, @jackoneill. It's been updated.

Starting with kernel 6.3 the rtl8xxxu module will support this chip. You should blacklist it in order to keep using this module without problems.

This a dirty patch of the PKGBUILD

Hi, I the module can not be build on kernel:

I think we need a patch for that get_fs error.

@codicodi I tested a few more drivers and looks like the device I have is based on rtl8188fu. So my previous comment is likely irrelevant.

@jdevelop I don't own a device with this id so can't really help you. Can you report it upstream?
