I have installed on a Microsoft Surface in a seperate partition.
I have tried most of the available kernels since the original one on the fresh install was causing issues and even older ones.
I have also tried installing the headers and also the extramodules to no available despite this being the usual remedy in such issues.
As a side note: during the install I had it plugged into the wired network for faster install in case it had to get any other updates.
Note: Previously I had no issues with a dual partition of Linux Minto out of the box.

Can you edit your comment, it’s just a giant wall of text, very hard to read. Thanks.
Yes I agree, have amended hope that is better, thanks.

installing linux-firmware-marvell fixes this?
sudo pacman -S linux-firmware-marvell
reboot and check ip link or dmesg again
Thanks for the info.
So I tried the fix:
Bluetooth is on now and I can add headphones but the sound keeps jumping.
WIFI is now showing the available networks, but it is not connecting to either my home WIFI network or a mobile hotspot.
On the WIFI it didn’t get a response back from the router.
But my mobile works fine and wired is fine.
I am currently on the bleeding edge kernel (linux60 )so think I will bump it down to (linux519) and see if that works.
Update: WIFI still fails to connect on linux519 kernel (tried rebooting modem also).

so probalby fast startup is not disabled in windows, so disable it in windows
I have seen that fix before probably in setting up Linux Mint but will double check the state.

disable/turn off bluetooth and try wifi…sudo modprobe -r mwifiex_pciesudo modprobe mwifiex_pcie
As of writing, mwifiex will crash after second suspend (s2idle) on upstream kernels. This issue is fixed on linux-surface kernels. If you need to try upstream kernels, I left note below.
Disable d3cold on wifi:
echo 0 | sudo tee "/sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:03:00.0/d3cold_allowed" # wifi is located at `03:00.0` on SB1
or here…
Wifi is known to be unreliable when bluetooth is enabled. A workaround is to disable bluetooth in the BIOS.
That didnt work.
