Hey there,
I've just installed Archlinux with Plasma GUI for which I used a Ethernet-Connection to set it up. That connection is showing on the Desktop aswell as the nmtui.
My Problem is, that I wanted to have a WLAN aswell but it doesn't show up, not on the Desktop neither in nmtui.
I've enabled NetworkManager, reinstalled, restarted... Nothing get my Wifi connection to show up.
Looking online for my Problem only led me to non-enabled NM threads.
Does anyone have an Idea what I could do to get Wifi on this System?
Thanks you in advance,
Sky
Edit: Please let me know if you need any further Information and I'll try to provide it

Welcome to the boards
You didn't lose a word about what kind of system nor the wifi chip this is supposed to be. On a random guess I'd say you forgot to install linux-firmware.
If that isn't sufficient post
lspci -k
sudo journalctl -bin [ code ] [ /code ] tags without the spaces.

That's only the head of the journal, but you'll likely require the https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Br … roadcom-wl driver.

Hey there,

Thank you very much!!
And thank you for your time too, V1del!
