installed pcie wifi card in my computer and can not get to work. other than it showing no wireless extension i dont know what could be keeping it from working
Did you try rebooting? More information about the issue might also help in finding the problem.
What does your system say about your hardware?
inxi -Fazy
well as soon as i figure out how to send it ill show youand it is apparently gonna be one of those days
Bluetooth tethering via handy to submit your inxi and other output?

I suppose this is the one? Here is something that may help.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration/Wireless#iwlwifi
that didnt help assuming i did it right
Are you dual booting with Windoze? If yes, switch off Fast startup in Windows and Fast boot in your firmware, fully shutdown your compter and wait for some seconds before reboot.
Independently from the above enter
echo "power_save=0" | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
sudo depmod -a
Then reboot.
Afterward:
nmcli device wifi list | grep "*"
and post result.
i am not
[scott@scott-10ky002aus ~]$ nmcli device wifi list | grep "*" [scott@scott-10ky002aus ~]$
what gives
ip link

In your case I would check if you have installed the card properly, there is no hardware detected…
ive double checked 4 times now
unless the pcie slot isnt working
I just read this post on this forum where a user with he exact same chip ID needs to reboot his machine a few times to get the hardware to show up.
There is a thread on the arch bbs from a user having the same chip in a M.2 to PCI setup with issues getting the kernel to see it properly. The solution was to set the power saving setting to off.
What I wonder is how inxi sees the network device and a driver and then ip sees no interface, is the device now also abcent in inxi in the same boot cycle?
I would try to update the firmware and reset the bios to defaults, disable fastboot if there is any option for it.
Please set up some swap space it we will see you here in a few day’s after you have fixed it with the issue of sudden crashes and reboots 
Seriousfreedom … there is no way this should have anything to do with it, but after chasing the error for over a month and three kernels, I stumbled on this: Boot into UEFI/BIOS and TURN OFF your ethernet port.
My wifi instantly returned.
