@RinCat the Archer T3U is the only interface I have which is able to see and connect to WiFi, so I haven't explicitly selected it but there is no choice. Thanks for the clarification on the drivers

@dpm Hi, did you set which interface to use for that WiFi network? BTW rtl8812b and rtl8822b use the same WiFi driver.

Hi @RinCat, thank you for providing the package. I have recently bought an Archer T3U (rtl8812bu) adapater for my desktop and installed this package. I have the sample problem reported by @sklorpion one month ago. i.e. the dkms seems to be correctly loaded, there is one new NIC, I can see the Wifi from NetworkManager but once inserted a correct password then it keeps asking it and does not connect to the net. There are two things that are strange according to me, looking at the dmesg output: first, the adapter seems to be power up and down cyclically and the second it seems that the adapater is read as rtl8822b and not as rtl8812b as I expected.
Pastebin for dmesg: https://pastebin.com/CvrYESw2
Pastebin for NetworkManager: https://pastebin.com/pA7hnqGk
(since you were asking @sklorpion too, the P2P device seems to be created directly from the driver
NetworkManager[4517]: <info> [1603440136.8254] Wi-Fi P2P device controlled by interface wlp3s0f0u2 created)

@noideas4thisname try set log_level to 5 and see if something wrong. And is this only happened recently?

I'm facing the same issues as @MildlyProductive and all my networks re-prompt for auth when I know the password is correct. It does not seem like a config issue on the router - I've changed that a few times and can't find a culprit. The driver seems to be loading correctly and I can scan, but connecting fails.

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

@MildlyProductive that package is 2018 version driver, and this one is 2020 version. If both have similar issue, I cannot tell when/where the problem come from.
MildlyProductive commented on 2020-09-20 23:13 (UTC)
@RinCat only recently. The thing is I previously used this package: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtl8822bu-dkms-git/ but had a similar issue. I then tried this package today and the issue remained.
RinCat commented on 2020-09-20 23:04 (UTC)
@MildlyProductive is this happened only recently update, or happened as always? thanks.

Hello, I don't know if this would help, but I am having similar problems as mentioned before. NetworkManager stays stuck on "Setting Network Address" for some time, and then fails with "IP configuration was unavailable".
Rarely, it does successfully connect and works fine for a few minutes, but eventually the connection breaks down and no packets go through anymore.
Here are my logs for unsuccessful connection attempts: https://pastebin.com/CdebGueB
I filtered irrelevant entries but kept those that belonged to NetworkManager or kernel messages that seemed to be related to Wifi in some way.
I'm using NetworkManager on KDE with kernel 5.7
