So I see DKMS rebuild this when a new kernel update is available. However the driver does not work (no wifi detected) until I rebuild the package manually and load the module.
What am I missing here?

@julio.b ok, removed.

In fact, you should not include any linux-header dependency in DKMS packages. See archwiki DKMS guidelines

@Psilioxus you can use any linux headers that matched the kernel. I don't know why I want to list all of them.

It seems linux-lts-headers is not included as a valid dep, even though package works fine with those. Is there a reason for that?

@astralc Hi, I moved it to /usr/lib/modprobe.d/. However I did not find any guideline for this, and /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ is a non-standard path.

I saw the blacklist file is added to /etc/modprobe.d/ (because I already had it when the kernel rtw module was broken).
Shouldn't this file be added to /usr/lib/modprobe.d/ instead (as it packaged, not user file), like how nvidia package blacklist nouveau?

Excellent @RinCat. Well, that was it. With that version change I no longer have the loop. Thank you!

@rcv Hi, I just did a version bump. However yay does not have an update loop for me. In both yay -Syu and yay -Syu --devel

If you encountered any problems, set debug log use
echo 5 > /proc/net/rtl88x2bu/log_levelormodprobe 88x2bu rtw_drv_log_level=5, and post your dmesg and network managers logs to https://pastebin.com/ .
