IWD no devices

Orphix · 2021-08-07 02:11:38

So this is my first time installing arch and after a few hiccups I was able to boot from my fresh install. During the installation process I was able to connect to the wifi using IWD by running the following commands:

device list
station wlan0 scan
station wlan0 get-networks
station wlan0 connect *network*

All was fine and dandy during the install, pacman worked great.

But once I rebooted out of the installation media I no longer have any network connection. When running the same commands I get stuck after "device list" because no devices are listed anymore. Additionally I found a post referencing using "adapter list" and I tried that but that was empty as well.

Any help would be much appreciated! Thanks!

We'll need the details of your card, any drivers that you installed (or should have), and whether or not you installed linux-firmware...

I am fairly certain the card is: Intel WiFi 6 AX 200

I'm not quite sure which drivers I installed(I did the install about a week ago and I forget) but I know I at least did the intel-ucode and the nvidia drivers

And I do have linux-firmware installed

Please post the output of

# dmesg
$ lspci -nnk
$ lsusb
$ ip l

I had to download lsusb and now it seems that iwd is recognizing the wireless card.

One additional thing I have noticed is that each time I reboot I need to manually start iwd using "systemctl start iwd", how do I get it to start automatically?
