I have installed Manjaro - “manjaro-xfce-21.0.7-210614-linux510” recently in my HP - 250 G3 laptop.
I haven’t installed any additional drivers. It’s just clean Manjaro system with default options and newest kernel.
I can’t enable Wifi. The Wifi checkbox is unclickable.
I have tried to plug USB Wifi adapter, but the results were poor. The Wifi connection still did not exist.
Is there any chance to get internal network card to work properly? If it’s impossible, could you help me to establish connection using usb Wifi dongle?
USB network adapter: TP-LINK TL-WN722N v.1 (Atheros AR9271)
Internal network adapter: Ralink RT3290
Here are the outputs of a few commands (USB adapter plugged in, without ethernet connection):

After I press F12 something changes. It might be some issue with F12/airplane mode button, but it doesn’t help anything.>
