[SOLVED] Arch Linux fresh install wifi-menu is constantly failing
So today I had to completely reinstall Arch because of some issues I was having with my previous install that rendered it unbootable. Now I have reached the point where I can boot into the new install without a problem, however now it seems my wifi will not connect no matter what i disable or enable or install it will not connect to the wifi network. I had absolutely no problems with it as I was installing it from the USB, but now it seems it just completely broke. I installed NetworkManager, wpa_supplicant, and dhcpcd (I may be forgetting a few, its been a long day).
If anyone knows what I could try I would be much obliged, I need this computer to work and I am completely out of ideas.
My network card is Qualcomm Atheros qca6174 and it says its using the ath10k_pci kernal driver and it seems the driver was loaded successfully, however wifi-menu still does not want to let the connection through.
Also, I'm not sure if this is a problem or not as other threads I've read didn't seem to mind, upon booting into the install on the disk it renames my wifi card from wlan0 to wlp1s0. I'm not sure if thats a problem or if its what the OS normally does.

Re: [SOLVED] Arch Linux fresh install wifi-menu is constantly failing
1. Have you installed linux-firmware?
2. Please paste the output of `systemctl list-unit-files --state=enabled`.
