Need help with WiFi on a Gigabyte laptop

I recently bought a new laptop from Gigabyte. I installed Arch on it.

I have problems with the WiFi adapter. I was following a guide to install Arch manually on youtube. There were some steps involved in using the WiFi and it worked.

If I use the lspci -k command I can see the WiFi adapter, but as far as I understand, there is no driver for it on my system and I could use some help to set it up properly.

Here is the return of the lspci - k

00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 01)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

I'm running the long time support kernel.

What steps should I take to resolve my problem and where should I look for drivers? This kind of problem is relatively new to me, despite using Arch since 2017.

Don't run the LTS kernel, it's hardware support is a year old.

Youtube installs are not supported here, not in the least because they give you advice that leaves you with a broken system because they reccommend the LTS kernel "just cause". Follow the Installation guide, use the LTS kernel only when you have an actual problem after having tested the current kernel.
