How did you install Arch?

That is a Realtek chipset. It did not work during the installation, did it?
I think you are going to need the rtl8188eu-git driver from the AUR. If that does not work, try the other things in the AUR that contain 8188eu
It worked during installation.
I'll try this, thanks!

It should not have. Assuming it is a Realtek chip set, the drivers are not amongst the 65 (or so) packages on our iso : / https://git.archlinux.org/archiso.git/t … ges.x86_64

Sorry, I haven't see the first comment.
I installed via a USB stick. And my wifi worked in the installation process.

The Arch Linux Kernel does have it configured as a module
CONFIG_RTL8XXXU=m
Can you see if it is loaded using lsmod ?
If it is not loaded, what happens if you try modprobe rtl8xxxu
If that does not barf, check the output of iw list again.

This is very similar to my USB nic and Debian. I got around this by adding this to /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="net.ifnames=0 biosdevname=0"
Then ran: update grub; reboot
So here's the skinny on this: for my nic, Debian tried to rename the nic from some abstract name to wlan0. My install worked until a reboot. After that, the nic failed to work.
What this line does is effectively told Debian NOT to rename the nic. This may or may not help you but it sounds so freakin similar.
I have not gotten to do my Arch install as of yet as I am gathering all the data I need before I wipe my Debian lappy. So with that, I assume you installed off of USB media then allowed your wifi to connect to continue your install? I am trying to find that info out as I tried the USB boot but of course, there was not wifi connected.
