No Network Connection after update

I recently updated my Manjaro xfce, which previously was working perfectly. Now, I get “No Network Connection”. Also, when I try to go to the Manjaro Settings Manager to check my kernel, clicking on the icon does nothing.

I tried to follow the suggestions from previous similar questions and updated my kernel to 5.18, still no luck.

Here is the output from inxi:

Have a look here: [Solved] Wifi device not showing in ip link / Newbie Corner / Arch Linux Forums

That worked. Thank you very much - I thought I had checked everything, but clearly missed that.
