rtl8188eus VS rtl8188eus

you can also search on github for the drivers, this one hosted by arhcrack-ng says it supports kernel 6+ and was last updated two weeks ago.

Anyhow, this is a bug report for the same issue: https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus/issues/224

The driver is an old build that is supposed to be compiled in the 4.1.4 kernel, and it says that is for the RTL8188EUS but when i did lsusb linux detects the adapter as RTL8188FTV. I tried to compile it with the shell script provided by the disk but it ends in an error when trying to call prandom i think? I did a bit of digging and found that it has something to do with some dependencies that were renamed on newer kernels. So, i tried to find a newer version of the driver online and after opening a hole trough this imaginary wall with headbutts I found and installed https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus but it didn't work as expected and the adapter was still undetected. I did some more digging and found some post over the garuda linux forums about the RTL8188FTV and found a package on the AUR that actually worked on the 6.1 kernel. But again despite appearing with lsmod and being listed as being used by one device;

git clone https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8188eus

After a brief google search for the driver, I found it on https://github.com/aircrackng/rtl8188eus. I tried the instruction there, but sadly it still doesn't work. Suddenly I got an idea to try this command echo "blacklist r8188eu" | sudo tee/etc/modprobe.d/r8188eu.conf and restart the computer. Finally, it's working! To spare you from wasting time like me, I will give you the precise step here:
