So this has been a journey, and I’m just at a loss as to what to do. I’m on a dual boot with Windows, and I was noticing that wifi was faster/connecting from farther on Windows, so I did research and saw that there were alternate drivers on the AUR. After a lot of messing around, I did manage to switch them, but now my wifi is broken. Ethernet/USB tethering and Bluetooth still work, just Wifi, which is really odd. No networks show up in the tray and the checkbox cannot be toggled in the tray.

Of note is that when I started this process, hp-wifi did not even exist, and the wifi did work. Wifi does work on the Windows OS.
