Wifi Card not showing up in system after rebooting cant activate special wifi on touch button on laptop

Hello, first off all excuse some wrongdoings i will have while explaining my problem, im using Linux and Manjaro for the first time in my life and im just 2 weeks in the expirience.

My problem is that after i “hard shut downed” my laptop with holding the start key for some seconds and starting him again later that day my wifi where not showing anymore.
I’ve read some troubleshootings and tried finding the card in my system but it seems like the system is not knowing anymore that the card is inside (the ethernet is showing up and working, ive build a workaround with a smartphone on usb tehtering to gain access because im in a hospital and have only wifi access).
Maybe its also a problem with the special touch key (the things over the laptop keyboards) which normally would light up when touched and activate the whole wifi card thingy. some of the other keys work like activating bluetooth but wifi is not, also using the Fn key to activate it like that also doesent work (while making the screen brighter or change sound loudness works)

i wanted to post my inxi -Fazy output but it tells me i cant post links… hmm…

Edit: somehow the touch button for the wifi worked now again and lighted up and even the fn key worked again but still no wifi aviable in the network center , just again phone via usb tethering

You can’t post links as a new member - has to do with trust levels in the forum software.
However, there normally is no link in the output of that command.

Try properly formatting it as preformatted text

HI @splox ,
Welcome to the forum, I can recommend you from other posts in the forum that the card is very old and does not have support on linux. Please, consider to buy an usb wifi adapter.
You could read them yourself in the links below:
Wifi Not working and no wifi network showing up

Wifi on but no networks show in list

Trouble with WiFi on laptop :intermittently turns off and must reboot; but now won't come on at all - #3 by j8a

Hope it help, regards

I tried the options which where used in the links but nothing helped…

Now also the touch wifi on/off button stopped his light and the system is again not even seeing the wifi card, even when i had a moment today where the button was working.

Does anyone know what happend there?
Cant try to run a wifi card which is deactivated by some internal funky laptop special buttons…

I have the same issue sometimes it worked and sometimes didnor worked
