Wifi doesn't work in Arch Linux
I put the latest Arch Linux on the laptop. Everything worked fine, but it does not work correctly to configure the adater to connect to WiFi. The standard actions didn't help. I assume that there are problems with the driver.
Ifconfig -a

Actually, ip a
is in Arch, not ifconfig -a
. Use NetworkManager it has nmcli
and nmtui
.
