Wifi and ethernet not working

I have a wifi card realtek RTL8852AE, and while i had no idea what was going on i did a lot of messy stuff and somehow got it to work, but while i was trying to fix an issue with networkmanager it doesnt work now and i tried plugging in an ethernet adapter but that also does not work.

lsusb only shows ethernet and bluetooth
lspci shows wifi adapter
nmcli returns only loopback

Re: Wifi and ethernet not working

You're online right now, are  you?
Either use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tethering or redirect the outputs into a file and usb-walk that to the system with internet access.
Start w/ your system journal,

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st # upload
sudo journalctl -b > /tmp/journal.txt # file

Also compare

uname -a
pacman -Qs kernel

Chances are, you updated and forgot to mount the /boot partition and now lack modules for the dated kernel you end up booting.

Since i realized my system was so messed up from all the random stuff i did without realizing when i was new I decided to do a fresh install.
