I recently downloaded Garuda Dragonized gaming edition and i seem to have an issue with connecting to wifi ( i have a tp link archer T2U USB adapter)or Ethernet.
I have disabled both fast start up and hibernation.
Ip link shows only lo:
lspeci | grep -i network shows an error line
dmesg | grep -i network says read kernel buffer failed: Operation not permitted
lsusb shows that it is recognised
I have tried a bunch of other things from reddit, the forum and YouTube and nothing seems to work
Hello!
- Please attach the garuda-inxi for us
This is the first rule of opening Topic - sudo systemctl start NetworkManager not working?

I see na for drivers have tried this to reload them and no luck:
sudo modprobe -r e1000e

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

Hi
dmesg needs sudo. So put sudo in front to get results.
You need to reboot after your last update.
Install LTS kernel, boot it and see if it´s working with your adapter.
Please copy and post always the whole in- and output of terminal.

The problem is even with ethernet plugged in i cant connect to the internet
The garuda-inxi you provided is from the live USB, so you cannot install anything in there anyway.
Have you already tried installing (you don’t need network connectivity to install) just to see if anything changes?
After the initial installation, if the problem persists, you could use tethering with your mobile phone to update the system, maybe install the LTS kernel, etc.

Ive installed it now on to my drive still not working with ethernet
WiFi works?

wifi, ethernet or tethering none of them work
What is the output of
sudo rfkill list ?
- I am just going to assume you won’t see anything to do with wireless.
Have you ever used this adapter on a linux machine b4 and it worked?

This is the first time im using Linux so im not sure. Although its a tp-link ( Archer T2U) so id assume its pretty common and is supported
I ran sudo rfkill list and nothing came up
Welcome to the Garuda forum @VipeBoss. 
For your WiFi, the driver most likely to work with your adapter is the rtl88xxau-aircrack-dkms-git driver.
Unfortunately, if Ethernet and tethering are not working, then the odds of your WiFi connecting properly even with the correct driver installed is pretty slim. You would seem to have a systemic issue if none of your network devices are able to connect properly.
In your bios and Windows be sure fast startup/quick boot is disabled. Windows has a nasty habit of hardware aquisition that interferes with networking in Linux.
Also, you should update your bios if a more recent version is available.
I would highly suggest restarting your router.
Be sure to disable network manager’s “Mac address randomization” feature.
Also, be sure to go through your routers settings and whitelist your WiFi and Ethernet’s Mac addresses. In most routers setup utilities this is usually reffered to as “Mac address association”.
Search the forum or Internet if you are unclear on any of those terms or instructions. We cannot advise on how to change the settings in your router, as every router’s setup utility is different.
Also be sure to test at least three other kernels in addition to the LTS kernel.
Good luck.

Ive tried everything thing i can still nothing seems to work unfortunately. One other possible useful thing ive found is when running sudo dmesg | grep -i e1000e i get the error message
“ probe of 0000:00:1f.6 failed with error -5”
Firstly, I would suggest unplugging your computer for 5 minutes.
If there is no change after doing so, I would suggest resetting your bios to the factory default or removing your cmos battery for 5 minutes.
Is a bios update available for your mobo, if so have you updated to the newest version?
Did you disable Mac address randomization, if so which method did you use?
Download the Garuda Xfce ISO, burn it to disk, then check your connectivity in the live environment.
Are you currently dual booting with Windows?
Be sure to power down fully if using Windows, (do not warm boot).
Please answer all questions and report on each suggestion in full.

Yes, i did update my bios after your suggestion yesterday, after removing my csmos battery still no luck.
To disable the MAC randomisation i ran
sudo nano
/etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf
Then added
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
Yes i am dual booting with windows, i have done a couple full shut downs and haven’t had any luck with them either
I have tried running
sudo dmesg | grep e1000e
I get the NVM Chipset is not valid failed with error -5
Downloaded Garuda Xfce and no internet connect there either
After installing Garuda offline, maybe try
sudo pacman -Rcs rtl8812au-dkms
Download this from the web then transfer to your laptop/computer
git clone https://github.com/morrownr/8821au-20210708.git
sudo dkms add ./8821au-20210708
sudo dkms install rtl8821au/5.12.5.2
There might be a chance it might work considering its in the TP link forrums. idk
Refrences:
From a Linux Forrum
From TPLink Forrum
Not good news!
Be sure to check that in the Device Manager’s advanced properties that any power saving options are disabled for each network adapter in use on your machine. Alternately, you could completely disable your Wifi and Ethernet in the Windows Device Manager. After these changes, shutdown, then do a cold boot.
When you attempt to use Android USB tethering what exactly happens?
Is your network connectivity in Windows problem free?
Try unplugging your LAN cable and Wifi before you start up. Attach again after boot up.
From your installed system (not live) please post the input/output of:
inxi -nxz
sudo dmesg | grep -Ei 'rtl|wl|eth|firm'
hwinfo --netcard --bluetooth | grep -Ei "(speed|hotplug|model|status|cmd|file|detected|driver:)" | grep -v "Config S"

heya mate, as another new guy to linux, i had much th same problems at first.
and i know this might be cheating, but i hooked up a CablesMatters usb to ethernet adapter n hardlined into my router for initial setup, it just worked right out th box,…it let me get installed and then it let me get my usb wifi dongle drivers issue sorted and working…and best part, it was like 15.00 from amazon, arrives in 2 days, and is now residing in my desk’s “dont lose this shit” drawer
