this is just one of the tens of outputs I get, although the wifi worked fine on installation. afterwards it just doesnt. I am a new bie as well, but the issue according to me is reltaed to the dricer regression or kernel update. i am not sure, please help me fix this , i tried most solutions available here, didnt work then I had to post my problem here, I also read most articles available on arch wiki,on wireless , wpa supplicant etc. and came to this conclusion that I needed to post my problem here to get help. So thats that.

As you've only posted one actual error message, there is only one thing we can help with.  That is an *extremely* common error, and it is covered in the wiki:

Note: Because of the process substitution, you cannot run this command with sudo: you will need a root shell, see also Help:Reading#Regular user or root.

If that isn't the only problem, please post the output of the commands you executed while following the wireless wiki page (eg, what is your wireless hardware (lscpi command), what are your interfaces (ip commands), ...)
