Wi-fi issues

Hi
A couple days ago, the wifi on my laptop just stopped working on the spot. I've tried a lot of things but so far everything i've done just seems to make it worse xD

(don't question my nooby activities unless its to do with the problem)

Also, wifi-menu doesn't work (idk if it's supposed to) if that's of any use. It returns an error that says, 'invalid interface specification'

Do you mean Wifi isn't working but your wired ethernet is?

_nyap_, you've been previously instructed to use code tags for such output. You seem to have ignored the instruction there and again posted long output without code tags here. Please click edit on your initial post, and fix this.

Also, please look through all of our forum guidelines:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 6#p1578856

Specifically, you may note the empty post / bumping rules (e.g. with "Plz", which also falls under another guideline about avoiding "textspeak").

I assure you if you make an effort to follow the guidelines you will make it easier for others to help you and you will get more productive responses.

EDIT: also, you say this was just a couple of days ago? So is this different than your existing wifi issue thread? If so, did you resolve that problem? If so, please mark that other thread as solved and indicate how you solved it (marking as solved is covered in the rules linked above, as is the purpose of explaining your solution under "life is a 2-way street").
