[SOLVED] wifi no longer visible from install medium

Hi,
I'm preparing to install Arch in a dual-boot alongside Windows 11. Yesterday I did a test boot from the Arch install USB stick, and proceeded as far as testing the internet connection.

Today, when I boot from the stick, the wifi card is no longer visible ("rfkill list" lists only a bluetooth device; iwd lists no devices.

The wifi works without issues when I boot into Windows.

I'd be grateful if anyone can point me in the right direction!

3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Also post the outputs of "lspci" and "lsusb"

Thank you for the lightning response -- disabling fast start worked.
