Newbie question - wifi not working after installation (where it worked!)


Hi,

I use Linux for a good few years and have decided to give a go at Arch on an older laptop.

This laptop was running Linux Mint flawlessly.

I installed Arch Linux on it and used the wireless during installation. I had to go via iwctl, it connected with no issues.

[gus@giedi-prime ~]$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection (3) I218-LM [8086:15a2] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Hewlett-Packard Company Device [103c:2216]
Kernel driver in use: e1000e
--
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095a] (rev 48)
DeviceName: WLAN
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-N 7265 [8086:5000]


How can I get it back up?

So, wired is working, wireless isn't?
How did you configure it? Do you have name resolution?

During installation I missed the package linux-firmware. Once I ran
Code:
# pacman -S linux-firmware
and rebooted, the wifi adapter was found.
