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/ .

A dependency is missing: linux-headers. Without it, you will be faced with this error:

The driver does not display the channel speed in the connection properties.

Never mind actually, ran sudo pacman -Syu this morning and it successfully built this module for 6.0.2 and then I rebooted and it seems to be working fine. Thanks @RinCat.

@RinCat Hmmm I wonder what's different about our two systems running 6.0.2 on Arch. I have very little else installed from AUR except for the odd emulator and I generally don't have issues compiling anything. I've also noticed that while the module builds and loads fine on 5.19.x it seems unstable after many hours, the AP connection drops and my TP-Link ac1300 adapter gets very warm. Passing a lot of traffic over say, Bittorrent protocol speeds up the process to drop the connection.

If someone is having download speed with Archer T3U, it seems that by plugging it into - a 2.0 port and - connecting to a 5Ghz Access Point will get you the best possible speed compared to the rest of the configurations. https://github.com/RinCat/RTL88x2BU-Linux-Driver/issues/160 It will still be below what your AP supports but it will be "working" somewhat..

@kzod and it is recommended to install linux-lts and linux-lts-headers in case new kernel broken the old driver and lost connection.

@kzod to let yay automatic update -git package, use yay -Syu --devel

@Sp1k3 I cannot reproduce it.
