I installed with the ISO onto my pc.

I have wifi cause of my wired connection, but when i try to assess the wifi menu, (either by clicking the icon in the corner or by using the omarchy menu nothing happens. not sure why.

Run sudo systemctl status iwd.service and check for errors. If there are errors, run sudo systemctl restart iwd.service and see if that fixes it. If there are errors that are not resolved by restarting the service or continue to regularly occur then do some searching online for those errors.

cool thanks i'll try that

#

I do not see any errors. however is does say near the end that network configuration is disabled. I'm wondering if it turned it off automatically bacause i don't have a wifi card/

If you share the complete output of the status command here I’ll take a look when I have a moment.

I'm not super worried about it not working, since I do have internet.

You can try setting EnableNetworkConfiguration=true in your iwd config per https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Enable_built-in_network_configuration and see if that does the trick. Though if you don’t have a wifi card at all (internal or external) then you’re obviously not gonna get wifi working anyway.

@hoary hinge Did you get this sorted out? I'm having the same problem. I definitely have a wifi card as it was working when Windows was installed.

#

I tried updating /etc/iwd/main.conf as described in that wiki article but still the menu item doesn't open

Ignore me. The WiFi card wasn’t seated correctly. 😅

i learned that the specific wifi chip that was installed had zero driver support for linux

#

there was a random dude on github putting together some drivers for it but it wasnt finished
