Hello there. Just installed Manjaro XFCE 2 days ago and saw WiFi option not being there . I have been scrambling the internet for help. Nothing worked till now. I am sorry , I am completely new to Linux so please don’t expect me to know anything.
There is no option of wireless connection in network . Saw in Hardware Configurations and found out the network controller for WiFi I have is Wireless 8265 / 8275 (Intel Corporation)

So I went to find the driver on the Intel website and downloaded it. Went into /lib/firmware and tried to paste there , but it was already present there. The driver is not loading , rebooted the laptop and still not working. Need help.
