[SOLVED] NetworkManager problem

I have freshly installed arch linux on lenovo yoga 3 pro. Connecting to wifi with NetworkManager or iwd isn't working. I have this bug. When I boot from usb I can connect to wifi via iwd if I use

rfkill unblock wifi

, but if I boot to freshly installed arch and use the same command, it doesn't work.

I have already tryed to disable ideapad_laptop module, but the keyboard and touchpad weren't working anymore. So i am trying to follow the wiki, but there is no information how to use

rfkill.default_state

and

rfkill.master_switch_mode

.

They're kernel module options, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … le_options — eg, the relevant kernel command line option is 'rfkill.default_state=1'.

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager problem

Not yet. And anyway I don't think reporting this problem to Lenovo will have much effect.

Did you confirm that your changes were applied? Check /sys/modules/rfkill/parameters/default_state but I'm pretty sure it's "1" by default, which means that the note in the ArchWiki is just nonsense.

Do you see any soft blocks in the output of

rfkill list

And does netctl work?

Re: [SOLVED] NetworkManager problem

I have found out what the problem was. I haven't installed the wifi driver, so i fixed it by installing linux-firmware package.

Thank you for your effort.
