Can not activate Wifi

Hallo everyone,

I did a fresh installation of arch on my Laptop.
All is fine until I do a mistake during enable the networkmanager.
I forgot the ".service" in the shell command.
So I disable the networkmanager an enable/start it again.
The Problem is now, that I can not activate the WiWi to see the wifi-networks in the KDE environment.
This is maybe the problem or I forgot something else?

Re: Can not activate Wifi

RTNETLINK answers: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

What's the output of

rfkill; ip a

?
Also the NIC being named "wlan0" suggest you might have iwd installed and possibly enabled?
Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

Because

I forgot the ".service" in the shell command.
So I disable the networkmanager an enable/start it again.

has not lead to this, you actually don't have to issue the suffix.
