On network issues

yes sorry, I fixed it as you typed your reply. as I mentioned I’m having difficulties with connection

Maybe post some info about what you are even using. I think it’s

inxi -Fazi

Another thing is, running dhcpcd with NetworkManager is usually not necessary/recommended.

I appreciate that, wireless came back that way last week. I’ll avoid it anyway

So can you repeat, what problems do you have exactly? What’s not working?

Wireless not working. Can’t detect any connection. It was fine until kernel 6.1.
The card is an Intel ax201, never had problems with Manjaro

Are you using Bluetooth while being on Wi-Fi?
I also figure out some problem with the Internet with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. topic

What is your output of:

sudo systemctl status NetworkManager.service
sudo systemctl status dhcpcd

and

sudo systemctl status wpa_supplicant.service

You might try the latest kernel 6.6.x iteration which fixed a recent regression, and has solved WiFi issues for many users. See if it also resolves your issue.

I hope this helps. Cheers.

Well, actually it’s just the latest that caused problems

I see.
Then, at the risk of stating the obvious, it must be something else.

I found Manjaro Not Recognizing Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 from back in 2021; there was no apparent solution found. Whether or not it’s the same issue, I can’t say. I also found these, neither of which produced any joy:

NetworkManager and dhcpcd is running what happen if you

sudo systemctl disable --now dhcpcd

only 1 should be running Wiki

A reminder of the note from @anon51566685 (Post #4): Running dhcpcd with NetworkManager is usually not necessary/recommended.

Especially not when you already connect to a router (or WiFi router) that provides a dhcp server; or an ISP that provides a dhcp service;

dhcpcd should be disabled in most cases.

I disabled dhcpcd as you said, internet is still on (still tethering on a phone) but no sign of wireless. connections don,t seem to appear

ok, I rebooted and if I only restart networkmanager, internet doesn’t work at all (not even tethering);
if I start only dhcpcd tethering works

it seems the problem is networkmanager, the icon is dead but wireless now works on my configured usual one (restarted only dhcpcd)
How could I restore “normality” with networkmanager?

Probably show what you modified here.

Also: Do you really need iwd as backend? wpa_supplicant is the default.

It wasn’t wanted))) I don’t know what happened.
How do I get everything back on default, like network manager, epa supplicnt?
I’m Not an expert really

Please show:

ls -la /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d
cat /usr/lib/systemd/system/NetworkManager.service.d/*
ls -la /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/
cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/*
