So, I’d love to start a thread here that can maybe get a sticky later, but I’m having a hard time getting info on how to get the Wifi built into the Raspberry Pi 4 to work.
I’ve tried at least using NetworkManager to get the connection going, and it sees and tries to connect, but it drops out frequently and it won’t keep a stable connection.
Has anyone else got it successfully working on Manjaro ARM Minimal with a Raspberry Pi 4?
It doesn’t matter, preferrably, I’d just use whatever’s built into Manjaro ARM Minimal for Wifi network connectivity, but if it doesn’t come with anything standard, then I’m willing to install whatever to save a cable.
In the future, when providing code/output, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text so that the output looks like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.

instead of like this:
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.

(as that makes both our lives much easier)
No need to do anything right now as I’m an editor here on this site and have fixed it for you already. However, in the future I might not see your post so review my edits by pushing the orange pencil above the post I just fixed.
@Strit Can’t see anything from a hardware level here… Care to shed a *I’m slow and you’re fast! Sorry!!!
Pi 4 had some non trivial changes, one I’d been aware of, the failure to get the wlan, since 3 but had not been able to find a clear solution for, the other was new, significant change in the ethernet device location. This led to total failure to detect the network devices in the Pi 4. These were both finally resolved thanks to a series of user data sets. Then I was, finally, able to snag the bluetooth device as well, which was very tricky, it’s a completely non standard bluetooth type, in a non standard location in the device tree, if the word ‘standard’ can ever be applied to ARM SOC device trees.
ARM saw some pretty significant changes and upgrades over last inxi versions, including much improved support for Android devices, though those changes depend on /sys and /proc not being locked down, which they usually are in current Android phones, though not always.
As usual, these upgrades for the Pi were 100% dependent on someone stepping up and providing the data, repeatedly, until the issues were finally resolved.
