Hi,
I’m not an expert in Manjaro, and all of my current wi-fi networks work fine, but I set-up a new wi-fi box. The connection works perfectly fine with ethernet, however when I try to connect to the wi-fi, my computer detects it, but it never passes the “configuring interface” part, always asking for me to re-enter my password (even though I put the correct one). I am running on KDE 5.19.4 and kernel 5.4.60-2.
Output for sudo lspci -v (for ethernet and network only):

Yes, tried it all, tried wifi-menu, network-manager, updating the system, firmware, etc., changing kernels but no luck. Might by the wifi card not being able to be compatible with the router, but will try a live-usb with a different OS to see if it will work.
I actually had this problem and couldn’t get it resolved so I ended doing a complete reinstall after changing kernels from 6.8 back down to 5.7. Do you have any other devices that can connect to the said wifi for comparison?
I tried as well to change the routers settings, and my other laptop (running on windows) and my phone (android) both work and connect to the wifi. Hopefully I don’t have to do a complete reinstall but it could be a good solution
@thiao15 Seems like we have the same wifi problem assoc with iwlwifi driver; i found a temporary solution eveytime it happens by manually removing the driver and readding it back. I am new to manjaro too .
I’ve got the same problem here with a Broadcom device. Wifi is working, but I can’t connect to a new router I installed. Tried all those things you mentioned, too, but with no success. Did you solve the issue by now?
The lspci -v lines for the adapter are:

@echo26 Tried the script you mentioned, too, but my machine crashes when the scanning is happening, so I don’t know if this could be a workaround for me, too.
You mean /sys/bus/pci/rescan this command? Mine randomly disconnects wifi and even unable to connect back on the same wifi network. can you post log from dmesg -w.
yes, exactly. ok, so we are not facing the same problem, I guess. I still can connect to my old network, but not to the new one. It is working with 2 different smartphones and 2 other computers running manjaro / windows. If I want to connect with my computer it doesn’t work and it connects to the old network. dmesg -w gives me this, when I try to connect to the new network with NetworkManager:
Yeah we dont have teh same issues, were in iwlwifi driver .
post rfkill list,
try to press the function button of your wireless controll; usually its FN + F(number).
post again your rfkill list.
Then if all says no, try to connect to your wifi again.
once the network is connected, manually add the ssid on your network manager.
Does it happen when you changed your drive to wl or it has been liek that since then?
I just did what you proposed, and after rebooting the router and then turning off and on wireless devices with the F-Button, adding the network in NetworkManager as a hidden network, it suddenly worked. Thanks a lot for your efforts!
