No Wifi adapter on Dell Latitude E6230

I have a Dell Latitude and I would like to have wifi on it.

When I run the arch installer (aug. 2020) I have no problem getting wifi, I can install arch over wifi. My adapter is name wlan0 when I run the installer.

After install, I have no wlan0 adapter, instead I have this wwp0s20u1u6i6 adapter. I'm able to set this up or down with

ip link set wwp0s29u1u6i6 up

or

ip link set wwp0s29u1u6i6 down

When I then try to list my adapters with

nmcli device

I only get

DEVICE  TYPE      STATE      CONNECTION         
eno1    ethernet  connected  Wired connection 1 
lo      loopback  unmanaged  --                 

My wwp0s29u1u6i6 device is not listed.

Now, I'm quite sure that my proper adapter name should have been wlan0 instead of wwp0s29u1u6i6, since that is what I had during installation. But I don't know if there's a missing driver or something else that's not in place.

I am quite new to arch, so I haven't been able to figure this one out yet. Can anyone please help me in the right direction?

Best regards
Jon
