Seems a driver issue,
check if the driver is active.
Search in arch wiki.

I think this is a problem with your phone, not Garuda. My guess is you've exhausted your phone's monthly high speed data limit for the month with your service provider. When this happens your phone's internet will work, but you can't share your phone's internet connection.

I've posted an issue describing my wifi problem
Very few times wifi connects to that phone , can i check why this time wifi connects to that phone hotspot
and always it failed to connect
(If log files genereted where are they stored means where i can find these logs?)
Points to note--

1-- i noticed that if pc starts and tried to connect to that phone hotspot and if it failed there there is no chance that it will connect if tried again and again , it might connect after next boot (not 100% sure)
i want to check what is happening with wifi apdater so that sometimes it connect and sometimes it didnt connect

2--No problem with that phone (phone that i am trying to connect) as other phones can connect to this phone

3-- i am using usb wifi adapter

4-- when pc trying to connect with my phone , in my phone it says 1 device connected and data shared is 0b(0 byte) and then after few seconds pc disconnects

I'm not aware of any specific logs, but my knowledge is limited there.
I normally refer to the journal, e.g. in your case this could be:

sudo journalctl -b -1 | grep wlp1s0f0u7

But, as said, this is only a possible starting point, maybe also dmesg, I don't know better....

I believe you were warned that there maybe side effects from disabling the NM wait online service.

Before disabling network manager online service
this problem exist

Can anyone tell me how to change driver of network adapter?

Unfortunately you have to search and try, I think there's no guaranteed solution.
In our forum, I see several times mentioned 8188eu-aircrack-dkms-git:
sudo pacman -S 8188eu-aircrack-dkms-git
After a quick internet search, I see also at least:
https://github.com/lwfinger/rtl8188eu
https://github.com/quickreflex/rtl8188eus
Both have to be git cloned and complied as per readme.
It looks like the former is actively maintained and the latter last updated on 22 mar 2019...

This is called an empty bump. Provide further information if you wish to elevate your post. Add more posts to your thread when you have some useful information to provide others. Until then your your empty posts are of little usefulness.

Your original thread was already locked as you have provided scant useful information and you are not easy to work with. I merged your most recent thread with your prior one as they are obviously the same issue. I reopened your original thread, as you seemed to want to continue this topic. Please don’t make me regret reopening your thread.

If you have nothing substantive to add to this thread then wait until you have something worthwhile before making further posts. If others were interested in contributing to this thread they would do so. Continuous prodding of others is not the proper way to get further assistance on the forum.

Thread will reopen in 2 days. See if you can find some pertinent info to add when it is reopened. You do not need to be led by the hand. Search the WWW.
