Hello everyone!
This is my first post on this forum, so please be kind :)
I just installed Arch on my ThinkPad, however I am having issues connecting to Wifi.
I have installed NetworkManager, dhcpcd and wpa_supplicant.
As I am using KDE, I also installed plasma-nm.
I made sure the services are running:
UNIT LOAD ACTIVE SUB DESCRIPTION
dbus.service loaded active running D-Bus System Message Bus
dhcpcd.service loaded active running dhcpcd on all interfaces

wpa_supplicant.service loaded active running WPA supplicantFirst thing I tried was to establish a connection using KDE's GUI, however there are available Access Points to connect to (only the wired connection is showing up).
Next, I tried using nmcli. However, when trying to list my devices using nmcli device I couldnt find my wifi adapter:
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
enp0s31f6 ethernet connected Wired connection 1
lo loopback unmanaged -- Same thing when checking for interfaces with ip link (assuming that wwp0s20f0u6 is not my wifi adapter):
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp0s31f6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 98:fa:9b:aa:05:63 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: wwp0s20f0u6: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 1a:aa:90:34:74:da brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff I have ensured that my Adapter is recognized using lspci - k:
03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
Kernel modules: iwlwifiI checked for issues with iwlwifi using ls /usr/lib/modules/5.3.5-arch1-1-ARCH/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/:
dvm
iwlwifi.ko.xz
mvmWhich seems to be perfectly fine according to this post: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=193570
Also, modprobe iwlwifi is returning no errors.
Any help would be greatly appreciated :)

Update: I checked journalctl | grep wifi and found the error:
