Hi, I’m a little bit of a newbie to Linux so the solution might be obvious. So I recently installed Manjaro KDE Plasma edition on my machine, but I ran into the problem of not being able to connect to WiFi. I tried connecting using Network Manager in terminal however it did not appear to detect my WiFi card. However, looking at the output of lspci -k, it appears that the WiFi drivers are installed and loaded. I really don’t know what the problem is here, I even tried using other programs such as wpa_supplicant and iwd. again, please forgive me if the solution is simple.
