Retina MacBook 2015 wireless network stuck on Operation failed in iwd

Hello, first of all, I want to say that I'm a newbie in Arch Linux, and probably this error is my fault. I installed arch linux with the Hyprland desktop environment and the NetworkManager application to configure my connection to the internet. Using the iwctl command to connect to my wireless network returns "Operation Failed". I checked the passphrase a couple of times, it is correct. I've tried Linux Mint and Fedora in the past, and I had no issue on wireless networks with those. Here is my "ip link" output:

```
ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: ens9: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
link/ether a8:60:b6:1d:4f:e5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
altname enp10s0
3: wlan0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state DOWN mode DORMANT group default qlen 1000
link/ether 9a:4a:5b:32:80:7e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff permaddr ac:bc:32:c4:eb:2f

"ens9" is my LAN cable. "wlan0" I think that's my wireless connection. Every time I try "ip link set wlan0 up", the network status doesn't change at all. Also tried it with root permissions. Maybe this is useful:
```

NetworkManager application to configure my connection to the internet. Using the iwctl command to connect to my wireless network returns

Thanks for the tip. I've now tried the broadcom-wl driver, which didn't work either. I'm going to buy a USB - Wi-Fi adapter, and I would love some recommendations. Do you know any that would work well with Arch Linux systems or some that have updated drivers? I really need Wi-Fi. Thanks!

We'll just get the one you have to run.
Please post your complete system journal for the boot:

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

=> This might be down to the 6.11 kernel, does the LTS kernel along https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … m-wl-dkms/ (and the linux-lts-headers package) still work?
