I can't connect to WiFi

Alright so I have my AX210 WIFI CARD and I'm pretty sure the drivers are in the Linux kernel because Arch uses the latest. Anyways, I try to bring my network up (wlp6s0) and it doesn't work. I've used "iw" and "ip" for this. On the Arch live install thing I can connect to WiFi easily but on this one I can't bring the wlp6s0 interface up. I had this problem had to me once but it was another PC trying to use USB tethering on my phone. No idea how to solve this. I think ethernet works fine though I haven't reconnected it after disconnecting to do the WiFi test. I'm using NetworkManager.

You don't bring it up. You need to actually make the connection with NetworkManager.

How would I do that? I've read the wiki and tried a lot of things but I'll read the NetworkManager doc then. Thanks

Open a terminal and type "nmtui"

Re: I can't connect to WiFi

I have experienced problems with the AX210 intel Wi-Fi card also: sometimes when restarting my laptop the card dosn't show up at all... But after restarting the kernel modules the card shows up fine. Hase anyone had this problem?

kernel - linux 5.16.13-arch1-1 linux-firmware 20220209.6342082-1
