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/ .

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.

No, it still still doesn't build on the latest Linux 6.0 kernel image: https://pastebin.com/q0B2jxWE

It would be great if the pkgver would be increased to the latest supported kernel version. This would cause aur helpers like yay to update the package (and contained sources).

I didn't remember to update the package after upgrading to linux 6.0 and because it failed to compile I couldn't download the package without connecting a cable.

@yoseforb you are try to use new gcc to compile old gcc compiled kernel. Which is never supported. The only thing you can do in Arch is to update your kernel. The kernel was built by: gcc (GCC) 11.1.0 You are using: gcc (GCC) 12.2.0
