NetWorkManager.service does not exist

Hi guys. Today I installed Arch with the gnome desktop environment for the first time on my macbook. Everything is working fine except "NetWorkManager". So this is my output in Terminal:

[matthias@ArchBookPro ~]$ sudo systemctl enable NetWorkManager
[sudo] password for matthias:
Failed to enable unit: Unit file NetWorkManager.service does not exist.
[matthias@ArchBookPro ~]$ sudo pacman -S networkmanager
warning: networkmanager-1.32.10-1 is up to date -- reinstalling
resolving dependencies...
looking for conflicting packages...

Packages (1) networkmanager-1.32.10-1

Total Installed Size:  16.50 MiB
Net Upgrade Size:       0.00 MiB

:: Proceed with installation? [Y/n] n
[matthias@ArchBookPro ~]$

As we can see, pacman says networkmanager is allready installed but systemctl can't find it.

Oh, btw I'm able to write this post on my arch system because I've connected with my WLAN using iwctl.

Thanks for any help

Reread the wiki page. The service name is not camel case.

It is, actually; just not in the way that they've written it
