@tkee The rtw89 driver has been merged into the kernel since 5.16.
Indeed you don't need this package/driver if your device is working fine with the built-in rtw89 driver, this package/driver is for the users who are using RTL8922AE/RTL8851BU/RTL8852BU chips which are not well-supported by the kernel.

Reminders:
If your USB wifi adapter is in CD-ROM mode, you need to use the command
usb_modeswitch
oreject
to switch it to "Wi-Fi Mode" first.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 rtw89 driver.
ONLY kernel 6.6 to 6.15 are supported currently.
