, Don't your kb/ms work?

- If your USB Wi-Fi adapter is in CD-ROM mode, you need to install usb_modeswitch, a tool that can switch your adapter to Wi-Fi mode.
So not doingthis would cause my wireless logitech keyboard and mouse to stop working right at login? ERGO K860 and MX Master 3S.

@henriquesg
Please remove rtw88-dkms-git package and then reinstall the latest version of it.
In a word, the rtw88-dkms-git installed in your system is too old to be compatible with kernel 6.16, please update it.
sudo pacman -Rn rtw88-dkms-git
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/rtw88-dkms-git.git
cd rtw88-dkms-git
makepkg -si

looks like it stopped working due to breaking changes on 6.16 - it was recently updated here: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/commit/73605121cc61484b6806ef43f97849f4007978b8

installing this on kernel 6.15 with rtl8822ce or rtl8821au got system freeze while connecting to wifi ssid, now fixed by uninstalling it

@fahimscirex dependencies updated, thank you!
fahimscirex commented on 2025-07-17 14:40 (UTC)
it tries to install every linux-firmware packages now - it should be updated to handle only the required firmwares

If your wifi adapter doesn't work and you see a line like this when running sudo dmesg | grep -i firmware
,
[24672.978460] rtw_8814au 5-2:1.2: Direct firmware load for rtw88/rtw8814a_fw.bin failed with error -2
that means your system lacks the firmware needed, try upgrading linux-firmware
to 20250408.c1a774f3-1
or later.
If your distro doesn't provide these newer versions of linux-firmware
, run these commands to install the firmware manually.
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88
cd rtw88
sudo make install_fw

Reminders:
If your USB Wi-Fi adapter is in CD-ROM mode, you need to install
usb_modeswitch
, a tool that can switch your adapter to Wi-Fi mode.Before installing this package, make sure your system has the corresponding kernel headers and the package
base-devel
installed.You have to manually blacklist or remove any conflicting drivers installed except the in-kernel rtw88 driver.
Experimental support for RTL8814AE chip (device id: 10ec:8813) was added, please test and report here if you have this card, thanks.
