there were two drivers on the cd that came with it
RTL8811CU（RTL8821CU）and
RTL8812BU (RTL8822BU_WiFi_linux_v5.2.4.4)
i want to disable the internal graphics card a
intel wireless 3160 i believe i want to disable it bc when ever my laptop is resumed it hardware locks and i cant get it to work again with out a full reboot i have tried everything that i could find on google to no avail.
if someone could tell me how to get the USB one working and disable the internal one wifi. is what nmcli gives
You should not be using the driver that came on the installation CD with your adapter. You should use the driver listed in your package manager that should be in the AUR. You do not want to install any packages outside your package manager unless there is absolutely no other way.
Your resume problem should be solvable by writing a systemd service.
I have many other posts on this topic if you search the forum.
I am not at home with all my networking notes on hand. You have way more than one issue going on here. I probably would be best to leave this till tomorrow when I have a Linux computer to help you.
In the meantime could you also please post:
lsusb
lsmod
Enter the commands when the USB dongle is plugged in directly to the computer (not through a hub).
I would also recommend installing and testing kernels 4.18 and 4.19. Install these kernels through Manjaro Settings Manager. Do not uninstall kernel 4.14.
It is possible your resume issue could be solved with the newer kernels. You could probably fix that issue with a systemd service. Did you even read any of the information I posted about that?
i can resume just my networking is hard blocked and i cant get it working again untill reboot super annoying when im moving around university

Sorry I don't have much more time for this ATM. The stuff that needs to be done after this gets more complicated and would be better left until I'm on a Linux box. Being only on my phone is very limiting. I'll see if we can work on this tomorrow. Good luck till then.
Before we proceed further, did you install and test the other kernels?
I should mention a few things so that you understand my methodology. Unless there is a good reason why an internal adapter should not be used in a laptop, then I always prefer to try to get the internal adapter working. I assume there were no other problems with your internal adapter other than the suspend/resume issue. So, lets try one more time to remove the hard block.
Run this before suspending:
sudo nmcli networking off
sleep 2
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sleep 2
sudo ip link set wlo1 down
sleep 2
sudo modprobe -r iwlmvm
sleep 2
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sleep 2
sudo modprobe -r wmi
After resume run:
sudo rfkill unblock all
sleep 2
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
sleep 2
sudo modprobe iwlmvm
sleep 2
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo rm /dev/rfkill
sleep 2
sudo ip link set wlo1 up
sleep 2
sudo rfkill unblock all
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
sleep 3
sudo nmcli networking on
If the laptop hangs after resuming then remove sudo modprobe -r wmi from the list of commands to be run before suspending. Then run the set of pre/post commands again after rebooting and removing that command.
To be clear, I want you to post every command input and output on the forum.
This is very important as I need to know there were no syntax errors in every single command run.
is what nmcli gives
