can you post output from:
lsmod | grep iwl
Sure 
This provides the following output:
iwldvm 282624 0
mac80211 1236992 1 iwldvm
iwlwifi 458752 1 iwldvm
cfg80211 1073152 3 iwldvm,iwlwifi,mac80211
so try to remove the modules:
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -r iwldvm
then reboot, they should be loaded, just to be sure check if they are with the same command:
lsmod | grep iwl
if it didnt work, then try installing the latest kernel 5.17.1-3 and also the 5.4 LTS and try with them
maybe try disabling 11n protocol?
file: /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
@brahma
I first tried removing the modules and then rebooted the system. I verified that both modules got loaded again and tried connecting to the wifi again ā Did not work.
I then downloaded the mentioned kernel versions and booted from them ā Same problem with both of them.
I even tried the kernel 4.19.236-1 LTS because i know that wifi did work in the past on that notebook (manjaro and several other distros). Weirdly even with this kernel i was unable to connect to the wifi. At this point iām wondering if this is even a driver issue or something else?
@megavolt
I did try this but this sadly still results in the infinite password prompt loop.
Did you reboot?
You can also set such parameter like that:
sudo systemctl stop NetworkManager
sudo rmmod -v iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi swcrypto=1 11n_disable=1 disable_11ac=1 disable_11ax=1
sudo systemctl start NetworkManager
At the end it should only use 11b and 11g. Maybe in this mode it works?
Yes i did reboot after creating /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and setting the option.
I just entered the commands you provided and tried connecting to the wifi after that but that still results in the same outcome.
Here is a journalctl -g iwl after entering all those commands:

// Edit: Is there actually a way where i can look at what the driver is doing or at which point the wifi connection fails? Already took a look at my router but i canāt find anything in the wifi logs about my notebook there.
since you installed the minimal version, could you just try full version in the live usb session
You can check the logs here:
journalctl --boot 0 --unit NetworkManager
or in follow mode:
journalctl --boot 0 --unit NetworkManager --follow
To set the logging level do this:
# check your log level
nmcli general logging
# switch to debug level
sudo nmcli general logging level debug
# switch back to info level
sudo nmcli general logging level info
no offense but just to make sure that itās active because the journalctl-messages are always referring to the wifi-switch (switch on and wifi is in bios activated):

@Olli
No offense taken
This was one of the first things i actually double checked. My wifi card is enabled in the BIOS and my wifi hardware button is set to āactiveā. Just tried disabling them ā rebooting ā enabling them ā rebooting again just to make sure but my wifi card isnāt even recogniced by manjaro as soon as i turn it off in BIOS or switch the hardware button to ādeactivateā.
@megavolt
I just did that and took a look at the output. Sadly there isnāt really much suspicious i can find. The only thing that catched my eye is that my wifi card seems to always rotate between the states authenticating -> associating -> disconnected
Here is a little bit of output:

I sadly didnāt have an old iso lying around so i i downloaded the current version from Manjaro - Downloads (XFCE), created a bootable usb with rufus and booted from it. Seems like i get the same problem there too.
you could try a live usb session of a non arch distro like linux mint, just to narrow it down if its a arch/manjaro issue or a linux issue

Connection request was successful:
But authenticating not:
Also here:
So I assume there is problem with the password or with the way how the password has been saved.
Can you try to connect with:
nmtui connect
@brahma
I actually thought about this too and booted from a live usb with linux mint (XFCE). When i then connect to the wifi i get the exact same behaviour as with manjaro. So it seems like this is not a distro related problem.
@megavolt
I just tried this (deleted the saved wifi configuration before) but i get the same behaviour (and same debug output) as before.
thats unfortunateā¦ maybe its a xfce desktop thing? ā¦ you could try disable ipv6:
Edit the file: /etc/default/grub and in this line: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT add inside the quotes this kernel parameter:
ipv6.disable=1 - dont remove anything from there, just add it
Update grub, then reboot:
sudo update-grub
I think i was able to narrow down the problem.
Out of curiousity i started playing around with the different wifi security options in my router.
Turns out:
- Disabling wifi security ā Notebook can connect without problems to wifi
- Enabling WPA + WPA2 ā Notebook can connect without problems to wifi
- Enabling WPA2 CCMP ā Notebook can connect without problems to wifi
- Enabling WPA2 + WPA3 ā Notebook canāt connect to wifi and presents me the infinite password prompt
While iām not surprised that the old intel wifi card doesnāt support wifi authentication with wpa3 iām kinda surprised that there seems to be a difference between pure wpa2 ccmp and wpa2 + wpa3 mode (as wpa2 should still be an available option to use).
Gonna keep researching ā¦

After narrowing down the problem and further research i was able to solve it with the help of another post on this forum from @Pino
It seems like there is a problem with the wpa_supplicant package regarding connecting to WPA2 + WPA3 (mixed mode) wifiās. As soon as i installed the packages iwd and networkmanager-iwd-overlay (AUR), removing wpa_supplicant and then rebooting i was able to connect to my wifi without a problem.
Forumpost:
Manjaro does not connect to WPA2/3 mixed WIFI network
Additional info:
ArchWiki - Network Configuration - Wireless - WPA2
ArchWiki - iwd
AUR - networkmanager-iwd-overlay
// Edit: This seems to be a known problem as a bug report to this already exists for the package wpa_supplicant which you can find here: Archlinux - Bugs - FS#73844
As of right now this probably wonāt get fixed as it seems to be a problem on the router site and not on the client site. A specific description of the problem and additional workarounds (which donāt include using an old AUR package instead) can be found here: infradead.org - Bug#1003907
