WiFi works while running ISO, but not when ArchLinux is installed

Hello.

I'm trying to install ArchLinux on a Chuwi Hi12 tablet. While running ISO for installation, I can connect to Internet using wpa_supplicant. I installed linux-firmware and finished the installation, but when I reboot, I can't connect to WiFi. Rfkill soft-blocks it. When I unlock it using command "rfkill unblock wifi", it get unblocked, but wpa_supplicant throws:

    wlan0: Trying to associate with <mac> (SSID='<SSID>' freq=2142 MHz)
    wlan0: Associated with <mac>
    wlan0: CTRL-EVENT-SUBNET-STATUS-UPDATE status=0
    wlan0: CTRL-EVENT_DISCONNECTED bssid=<mac> (SSID='<SSID>' reason=0 locally_generated=1)
    [more]

but when ArchLinux is running from ISO, wpa_supplicant works.

Also, when I try to use "nmcli device wifi rescan", it throws:

    Error: Scanning not allowed while unavailable or activating

I tried to use the same linux-firmware as ISO (from mirror.lnx.sk/pub/linux/archlinux/testi … kg.tar.zst), which is version "linux-firmware-20200204.b791e15-1", but it doesn't work (I installed it using pacman -U <downloaded-package>)

When I run dmesg -lerr,warn (after trying wpa_supplicant), it shows:

I hope you can help me. Thanks!

Re: WiFi works while running ISO, but not when ArchLinux is installed

Are you using NetworkManager to control your device?   Is that the only thing you are using?

What are the output of
ip link
and of
systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled
?

Mod note: not an installation issue, moving to NC.

Sorry, but it seems that tablet doesn't boot, so I can't test your commands.
