Network connectivity issues

[Manjar0-Flow]

My Ethernet and Wi-Fi were working perfectly fine yesterday, but suddenly after powering the laptop off yesterday and booting up again later in the day, the network connections both just fail to connect, the hardware is clearly detected, but when attempting to connect, instantly (milliseconds), I see it goes back to an ‘off’ state.
Also I see the notification popup regularly telling me that the network connection failed.

I do manage to connect via a USB Ethernet connection, but only if I’ve disconnected it and reconnected it when I’m on the desktop, so I assume that some way of restating the network hardware after arriving on the desktop may be the answer? (for the time being).

Can you post the output of these 2 commands, so that we have more information from your system:

ip addr
inxi -Fxxa

Also you can take a look in this posts:

Sorry, my bad.

Fixed

I can’t confirm that this is a permanent fix, but it has temporarily enabled my network hardware to be usable again in this Manjaro installation.

I’ll leave this here in case it helps anybody else.

Enter the following command in the terminal to restart your NetworkManager service:

systemctl restart NetworkManager.service
