Manjaro i3 Wifi Problem -- Fresh Install

Hello,

I am in the process of setting up a dual boot of Windows 11 and Manjaro i3, on a Lenovo T14 Gen 3, (AMD). I have scoured the internet searching for solutions, but haven’t found one yet. Some help would be much appreciated!

Here is the output of uname -a

Linux rolandT14 5.15.74-3-MANJARO #1 SMP PREEMPT Sat Oct 15 13:39:11 UTC 2022 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I have installed the proper Linux headers:

core/linux515-headers 5.15.74-3 [installed]


One thing I have noticed about my problem that is different from others I have encountered online is the output of rfkill list all:

0: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

In other posts, there is usually some item representing Wlan.

It should not be a hardware problem, as Wifi works perfectly in my windows partition. I have disabled fast startup in the windows partition, and secure boot is off in the BIOS.

Most of the posts I have seen are solved by installing some realtek driver. I have looked for drivers corresponding to this Qualcomm device, and have stumbled upon a little documentation on linux-hardware. I can’t include links, but if you search linux-hardware with Qualcomm QCNFA765 it should come up. It seems that the device works with versions 5.14 - 6.0 (I am running 5.15). I believe my install should have come with ath11k.

Any help solving this problem is appreciated! Cheers


Edit: Some extra information –

Ethernet is working well. If I run nmcli dev wifi rescan I get

Error: No Wi-Fi device found.

Some things to try:

Update to the latest stable kernel: 6.0.6 currently

You might need to install the linux-firmware-qcom package to get the correct software support for your hardware.

I did both of these, and now I have Wifi! Thanks for your time!
