I use 4.19 at the moment, 5.9 (for example) is EOL…it helps to avoid “one of those”…
Let me see what you have sent over
Edit - I dont really see yher WIFI here, can you list the output of the following command?
ip link show
Info comes from this page…
PS : avoid copying and pasting commands. It is completely possible that the markup can hide commands that you’d then execute in your console by pasiting. If you must, copy the command (text) and paste it in a simple text editor to “filter” out the invisible commands…
This is weird…I dont see any WIFI, there…
And this for a laptop.
This command should have shown all the network connectivity, and it should reveal the system names…
I need to delve deeper into the specs of your machine…
Edit - it does not seem to have WIFI as we come to understand it, more WWAN that needs to be configured…
Okay,
This should be a snap.
And … If all fails, a USB Dongle may just prove to be the solution.
But, let’s work witrh what we have…
So, having found that your laptop does have WIFI and (more importantly) what to call it, I dug up an article that may help.
Manjaro is the “less aggressive” sister of Arch Linux. However, console work is common amongst the two…
Let me know about your progress.
We’ll get there…Linux is indestructible

Is the system fully updated? Do you have the latest Linux Firmware installed? Have you tried a different kernel? Can you post an inxi output here? Is there a physical wifi button on the computer that is preventing wifi access? Are you dual-booting? Give us something to work with.
Please read the following:
Hi, I tried to follow the page and installed the firmware. Then I got stuck on finding wireless interface. iw dev does not produce any output… I’m quite stumped
Can you shoot me a screenshot? This I’d like to see. Could be that your interface is brolen, though I doubt that…nonetheless, better look into that.
By the way, in case you wonder, none of the laptops I have use the provided WIFI adapter anyway, but then, I only use second hand laptops…
The make, perhaps. I have a TPlink. Basically, plugging it in, should make it show up in the list of USB devices.
From there on, installation should be easy.
Okay, however…on to iw…did you run this as root? Or via sudo?
As “normal” user you dont get output, of course…
Edit : there is a page on IW that you might like to keep handy
Unfortunately, sudo iw dev doesn’t return anything as well.
So I tried installing the firmware from en:users:drivers:iwlwifi [Linux Wireless]
for both AX201 and AX210, then rebooted, which didn’t work.
I tried to update the kernel in manjaro settings manager, it reports successfully installed falsely(I
m still stuck with 5.10), then I tried updating the kernel from cmd using mhwd, but got this error: error: failed retrieving file 'linux512-5.12.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst' from mirror.netcologne.de : Operation too slow. Less than 1 bytes/sec transferred the last 10 seconds
Is there possibly a disable download timeout for this? I couldn’t find any…
Super!
As a side tip: you can select a kernel at boot up, when GRUB comes active, press and hold a shift key, then select “advanced settings” and from that next screen, select the new/required kernel.
Glad it worked…
Thanks for posting the solution too.
Welcome to the club
Melissa
I’m having the exact same issue as you.
Could you provide more information on how you updated to kernel 5.12 with mhwd without having internet? I assume there is some package I need to download and place somewhere, in order for me to be able to run sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux512
I doubt that…nonetheless, better look into that.
