Yesterday i installed Manjaro on my dad’s laptop’s, the laptop is a MacbookPro 12 (God forgive me for using Apple’s sh*t)
Just after installing Manjaro, everything is working fine and the WiFi is working perfectly.
This is the system info just after installing Manjaro WITHOUT DOING ANY UPDATES

Then i updated the system (500+MB of updates) and restarted. I mean here the updates you install after setting up a fresh Manjaro copy. Now the WiFi is working and the networks are visible, but i cannot connect to my home network. These updates did something wrong.

To recap
Before updates: WiFi working and i can connect to my home network and the internet working correctly
After updates: WiFi working but i cannot connect to my home network although i can see all the routers around me. It keeps telling me “network deactivated” after trying to connect for a while.
Maybe something is wrong with the updated WiFi driver if it was ever updated.
