Re: [solved] Wifi interface not found after reboot

Did you install the correct firmware during the installation process?

Thanks this was it.
I'm also running arch plasma on my desktop since a week and I followed the same instaltion as i did for my laptop, so i did also not install Linux-firmware on there do you recommend i install it even though it seems like everything is working?
