[SOLVED] Arch loses wireless connection and refuses to reconnect.

Here is the story:

Installing arch with the iso from 201701 is working great until you log back into the installed system.
You can use wifi-menu to install some extra stuff and then it drops the connection.
WPA_sup loses the carrier on connection, and when using network manager on plasma its the same.

My inbestigations have brought me to various threads, but none of them helps.
I think this is related to this bug: https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/52741

So what to do? Downgrade netctl, wpa_sup, nm and all? Has anybidy the same issue?

Defective hardware cant be. Linux mint and ubuntu connect fine on the same card.

EDIT: It was a kernel bug. Doesn't happen anymore.
