So?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Start with the system journal, driver errors etc and what tool you use that is "not able to see any wifi network" and then maybe what packages were updated.

no suitable firmware found!
I read https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … r/firmware
and as i understand it right, my wifi is supported. So the driver should be available.
(previously wifi worked)

I use kde and the network manager. i can see ethernet connection but not wifi.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi not visable after sytem update

Solved it with
# pacman -S linux-firmware

Thanks for the hint!
