So I see a new ZEN 5.18 incoming and installed it and rebooted fine, just is causing an issue with my wifi dongle. Upon reboot it tried but failed to activate the dongle. So I restored from a snapshot and back and running. My question is more of if I install the kernel and the same happens again. Would I need to remove the driver and redo the process? Or what other route to get it to launch the driver again?
mkdir -p ~/build
cd ~/build

sudo pacman -S bc dkms
cd ~/build/rtl8821CU
