Oh, is that so. Thank you I will try updating system.
All of your network devices are down, are you in “Airplane Mode”

No, and also I tried to manjaro-chroot and update system but network isn’t also working in recovery usb even though network shows it’s connected.
This is a driver issue and has absolutely nothing to do with i3wm.
That being said, the driver for RTL8821CE was definitely in kernel 5.19, but you should update to 6.1 because 5.19 no longer receives security updates.

How do I update the kernel? Network isn’t working.
edit : sorry I think I accidentally tagged it as i3wm
Try to chroot in from a newer ISO, or just reinstall from a current ISO.
Does your laptop have a hardware switch for networking, either a physical one or a combo key like Fn + F2 or something, somehow you have physically disabled all of your network devices…

What do you mean by a newer iso?
I don’t think so.
All Laptops have either a physical switch or a key combo, what model is your HP laptop?
what is the output from a terminal of ;
sudo rfkill

My Laptop model is
HP 15-da0019tu
And,
sudo rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked
1 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked
OK, well, your inxi shows your radio rfkill state 0, so it is disabled, but the hardware shows it is not locked… That laptop appears to have a function key with an airplane icon, so it does have an airplane mode. Try to enabling , disabling that see what happens.
And just to make sure , check that network manager service is up and running. from terminal run;
sudo systemctl status NetworkManager
I tried that, btw my laptop is showing its connected to a Wifi, but anything that needs data still doesn’t work. Network manager shows that it’s active without any issues.
A newer installation medium. You’re using an installation medium with an end-of-life kernel.
Ok I updated everything using recovery disk and chroot, but wifi is still not working. The kernel is Linux61
Hi @xebeoc ,
I have a question for you. Are you running docker? Maybe, you have to disable it an try to run the following commands , in order to help you.
lspci -k
ip link set wlo1 up
Also, you can find more information in the following post:
‘Network configuration/Wireless - ArchWiki’

I am running docker, i uninstalled it since I don’t use it anymore. nothing changed tho,

Hi @xebeoc ,
I have searched the forum and I found no solved questions for this wifi network controller. You can also read this post, in order to decide to buy a dongle and use, in order to solve your problem.
‘WiFi speed often dropping to 0 however not disconnected on Realtek RTL8821CE’
I also recommend this post, in which the problem was solved.
‘Tried to install drivers for rtl8821ce network card’
Hope it help,
Regards
