Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

What steps have you taken so far to configure networking?  Is this in the live environment or the installed system?  Please post the output of the following in code tags:

lspci -nnk
dmesg
ip l

Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

Please don't paraphrase, https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855
Your post contains virtually no information, not even a symptom description or question. What kind of help do you expect from that?

ip a; ip r; ping -c1 8.8.8.8

And post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

Are you installing manually or with archinstall? You can install four kernels simultaneously and test all 8 versions (including fallback), to find the one that works. My optimized archinstall procedure is described here. If nothing helps, I would stop using Wi-Fi altogether. In fact, I am moving to a house in a rural area because in my apartment building I am constantly surrounded by 5 or 6 strong Wi-Fi signals from neighbors, they are bad for health.

Only one thing is certain: nothing is certain.

Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

I tried to install all three kernels and headers. linux, linux-lts, and linux-zen. all doesn't fix the issue

seji@archlinux ~ $ pacman -Qs 8852
local/8852be-dkms-git 1.15.10.0.5.0.3-1
    Kernel modules for RealTek RTL8125be
local/rtw89-dkms-git 1:r867.ebe87ac-1
    Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device

seji@archlinux ~ $ pacman -Q linux-firmware
linux-firmware 20240115.9b6d0b08-1

Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

Without seeing the output of dmesg or the journal if this is on the installed system is linux-firmware installed?

pacman -Q linux-firmware

Edit:
8852be-dkms-git should not be needed with the linux kernel 6.2 or newer.  rtw89-dkms-git is not being used.

If you mean the command to remove a package see Pacman#Removing_packages.

Please add code tags to your previous posts.

Re: Missing Wifi : rtw89_8852be

Both, 8852be-dkms-git and rtw89-dkms-git and also check "dkms status" to make sure the module isn't left behind (in doubt uninstall that)
