No Devices Available from Wifi, New Install, New Linux user

Hello,

I am quite new to Linux, this is actually my first install. I played around with a virtual machine of Ubuntu, but wanted to use Linux more so I installed Manjaro on an extra SSD. I have been unable to connect to Wifi at all since installing. Where my desktop is located, a wired connection is not possible. I am using a PCI wifi-card, and use a regular router for Wifi without any special security. However, my network manager shows no available connections, and when I add my wifi with the correct SSDI it says “never used” based on what else I could find online, it appears I have a Kernal module, but no Kernal driver in use? Any help is greatly appreciated. Once online, I can update my drivers easier, but that is not as easy right now. Below is my system info

When I ran another command (lspci -k) which I saw from another forum post, I got the following:

Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (rev 1a)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0084
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

Again, thanks for any help in advance.

:+1: Welcome to Manjaro! :+1:

In Linux speak a driver is a module outside the kernel (no capital, 2 e's) and a module is (what-Microsoft-calls-a-generic-driver) built into the kernel.

So:

is fine…

What is weird is that you don’t have a device linked to the iwlwifi module though and eno1 isn’t a standard device name.

  • How did you install your networking?
  • Are you running in a VM too here or on bare metal?
