On my surface book 2, unfortunately the wifi drivers are not included in linux-firmware package and the marvelll package is required:
https://archlinux.org/packages/core/any … e-marvell/
I tried installing them from a USB stick during the live install. While the installation of the driver succeeded, the driver still wasn't loaded, since I cannot reboot (not persistent storage in live install). The installation is correct, as I offline installed endeavour os and installed the driver the same way. After rebooting endeavour os, wifi worked.
How can I get around this and still install the required driver in live arch?
For reference, I installed the driver by mounting the usb stick and then installing:
pacman -U ./linux-firmware-marvell...
.. which succeeded.

The live environment already has linux-firmware-marvell. See https://geo.mirror.pkgbuild.com/iso/latest/arch/pkglist.x86_64.txt.

Thank you for your reply! That is weird, because I cannot connect to any wifi networks in live install. wifi0 is always stuck on "connecting" status. Any idea on why else this could be the case, if it is not the driver?
Also weird, since I also couldn't get wifi to work on endeavour os until manually installing the marvell driver and rebooting.

I am running arch on an SB2 right now. This happened to me as well, and the solution was to use https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tethering . When installing arch from the ISO, make sure to install dhcpcd along with all your other packages, so you can run dhcpcd in your installed system so tethering will work. That should allow you to install NetworkManager and linux-firmware-marvell, which is the only way I have managed to get WiFi working.
