hey there, arch noob basically. just installed arch and the wifi was working perfectly fine but after turning it on today I have no section for network management and I used own tl and my wlan0 function is set to off. I used the command “device wlan0 set-property Powered on” and it came up with denied. anyway to fix this? thank you

what device do u havw?
the iso has more packages than a normal installation, so you might have drivers in the iso you don't have in your final installation

wait so your network worked in the iso?
worn spindle
yes
and when i completed an install i was able to update the thing with some issues (random dropping where i had to restart the package install command) but it worked fine, i got steam and whatnot installed
clear moss
oh wait so it did work at the beginning
worn spindle
yeah
just today it’s giving me issues
i actually went back into the installer usb and the wlan0 device refused to start there too
clear moss
oh huh
worn spindle
i could use ethernet and reinstall network manager perhaps
clear moss

i just installed this thing yesterday so i wouldn’t care if i had to install it again
but what was strange was that when i booted into that usb it wouldn’t turn on over there either
i’ve always had issues with wifi on this thing it’s so strange
i reinstalled because my mirrors where downloading at 50kbs and everything else was totally fine
like 4-5mbs per second which is normal for this old hardware

`rfkill list all`
sorry for the late reply, was sleeping
i tried some other things
checked the bios, it’s on

hardware blocked == have to poke the physical button, or if you are lucky; it's a broken firmware implementation where you have to boot windows to toggle it
