Hello everyone,
A few weeks ago I installed Manjaro KDE and Windows 10 in my laptop and got the dual booting working perfectly. Since then I have had some issues with Manjaro but everything works mostly fine.
Eventhough, I am having two problems with the wifi connection which I have not managed to solve.
The first one is that sometimes when I boot the wifi driver does not load at all, just as if there is no wifi card in the laptop. Once this happens I know no way of getting it back and for the moment it just comes back as mysteriously as it left. Today I managed to get it working when connecting via ethernet to the internet but other times this has not worked. The only hint I have is that it might be related to Windows because it often happens after I boot into Windows but I am not sure this is always the case. When the wifi is working the result of the command inxi -Fazy
is the following:

Note that when this problem happens in the network section for the wifi card the driver is listed as N/A (instead of iwlwifi).
The second problem, which might be related, is a slow internet speed getting most of the time 0 bytes per second both for upload and download of data.
Any help will be most welcome.
Thank you very much
