How to install Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support?

Hello, i just tried to install Arch Linux with archinstall script, works well.

But, Bluetooth doesn't work, WiFi either.

What, pray tell, is that video supposed to be?

Edit:  How do you know they don't work.  Tell us what you tried and how.

The video is easy, maybe I am missing something.
Choose the KDE as DE, did everything fine.

After Installation I tried to see the Arch Repos.
I will say in Debian Language, apparently the drivers are installed well.

Re: How to install Bluetooth and Wi-Fi support?

Did you use Wi-Fi during the installation of Arch or a wired connection?  What is the wireless interface VID:PID?  What kernel module is it using?  Does `ip l` have an entry for the Wi-Fi interface?  If so can it find any access points?  If it can connect to an access point does it obtain a DHCP lease?

I used the Wired Cable, English is not my main language but i guess you are talking about the Console, to see my IP and Wi-Fi entry.
Only the Cable are Showed, and Bluetooth doesn't work either.

I'm confused if this is a Kernel Issue or a Interface Issue, but KDE Plasma is Fully Installed.

Please post the output of the following from the console:

lspci -nnk
ip l
nmcli connection show # assumes you are using NetworkManager with KDE

Well, to me the video appeared to be a politically incorrect (and probably technically incorrect) video of how to install Arch Linux by someone with an adolescent sense of humor.
It was unwatchable, but, as I said, I presume it was yet another how to video and, like all other such videos, is not supported by these forums.

Am I wrong?

I solved the problem.

First, install Arch using UEFI mode, second, any thing related to drivers just install with Pamac (Yay)

I know the Wiki, but be more friendly to new users.

Btw Mental Outlaw is helping bringing new users.

Bye, can close the post.

You did not include the package names or the hardware that required it.

ewaller already covered how this is not supported.

Finally, when a solution is found, mark your thread as solved by editing the first post and prepending the tag [SOLVED] to the title in the "Subject" field.
Note that you should avoid using [CLOSED], which is instead used by the system to mark a thread which is no longer accessible for new posts.

In future support requests I would suggest warning those considering helping you that you do not use the console.
