I just installed Manjaro for my Dell XPS 15 Laptop but I noticed the boot process was slow, I found the fix mhwd-kernel -li and then sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux54 rmc but when I restarted my pc wifi and bluetooth doesnt work. The network is connected to ethernet by default. How can I fix this?
Provide output of inxi -Fazy

The above is the output I get when I run the command inxi -Fazy
Provide output for
lsmod | grep 'ath11k'
sudo dmesg | grep 'ath11k'
Do i run the above command in the terminal or do I provide the output?
Run each of two commands and provide outputs for both
I just tried the two command. it did not give any output
Ok. Try this one
sudo modprobe ath11k_pci
If you won’t see any output check if wifi could be enabled
I got the output below:
modprobe: FATAL: Module ath11k_pci not found in directory /lib/modules/5.4.257-1-MANJARO
Interesting. Module ath11k_pci was supposed to be build-in since kernel 5.1.
Try newer LTS kernel, 5.15 or 6.1. Your laptop has a pretty new hardware, no need to use kernel 5.4
Okay, I will try that. I should restart after installing right?
Yes, you should
I have installed kernel 6.5.1 and restarted my pc. So the wifi and Bluetooth are enabled back. But the boot process is slow and it takes time.
It takes time before it Dell icon load and show password screen , how can I fix this?
Provide output for systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 5.154s (firmware) + 2.940s (loader) + 2.406s (kernel) + 8.069s (userspace) = 18.569s
graphical.target reached after 8.068s in userspace.
This is the output
18 seconds is too long for you? 
Let me restart it and see.
The behavior seems somehow
I just restarted it and the screen is all black. Something seems to be a miss, can’t just say what exactly.
If I may , what do you think the command below does:
sudo pacman -Syyu haveged
sudo systemctl enable haveged --now
I saw it as a fix to the boot issue: Manjaro hangs on Dell logo during boot - #19 by Aragorn
That was just a suggestion not a fix cause it didn’t work.
Those commands install and start haveged service. But I believe it’s already installed and running on you system. Check
systemctl status haveged
