puspam-adak perhaps you check /var/cache/pacman/pkg for a pre 6.x kernel and roll it back with pacman -U before 6.2 is available stable

As @rogeriotds and others have noted, driver for this card is available in-kernel as of 6.2

I'm using kernel version 6.2, which is already in arch's test repository, and the 8188fu driver is already included in it, in the rtl8xxxu module. Just a note below: The module doesn't load itself with systemd, so you'll have to enable it using modprobe or, what I think is better, add it to systemd's autoload, using: "/etc/modules-load.d/rtl8xxxu .conf". As explained here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_module The drive is much faster, no crashes, nothing. Very good!

@puspam-adak Please see the pinned comments. Last time I checked, this package did not work for 6+ kernels. There is a suggestion in the comments for another package which does work for 6+ kernels

I stay on the LTS kernel. Recently, the LTS kernel got updated to 6.12 and my wifi card isn't working. I tried to reinstall this driver, but it says:
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.1.12-1-lts (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/8188fu/r115.751882b/build/make.log for more information.

@dennismwangi this package does not work for 6+ kernels. Please read pinned comments which suggest the supremegamers fork.

Created https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/8188fu-supremegamers-dkms-git for the other fork. Sounds like this is the only option for 6.0 and 6.1 kernels at the moment

Reminder: I am not the driver developer.
For issues with the driver compilation, installation or anything related to the packaging, please leave a comment here and I will do my best to fix it.
For issues relating to the driver's use, please open an issue on the driver repo.
