what is the difference? and how to install from source on arch based os ? about rtl8852be HOT 7 CLOSED

My understanding is that Mr. lwfinger only adapted to 5.18 and newer kernels.
My repo is supposed to be adapted by all versions of the kernel currently (5.19 I don't know), but the code is rough and not very elegant.
You can use command uname -r to check your kernel version and choose the branch.

Different versions of the kernel have different APIs, and it's not clear whether lwfinger adapts to older kernels.

sir can you tell me what is the procedure to install the driver on arch based OS like manjaro ?? I am a linux newbie. the make commands returns error...

from rtl8852be.

What kind of error please?
maybe the linux-headers?
please leave your error msg .
try:

$ sudo pacman -S linux-headers

i installed the right linux header version and the error did not happen.. but I don't know what to do as manjaro will get frequent kernel updates so the driver will break?

from rtl8852be.

When kernel updates， it's time for you to recompile the code.
Neither do I know what time will the code break， if it does break，you can open a new issue and report your condition.🙏

You can use “LTS kernel” in manjaro instead of “Beta kernel”. Then I think the problem will show up more slowly.
