I put Arch Linux on a used Chromebook. The Wi-Fi card connected during setup, but when I tried to run the ip link command, only the loopback appeared. Someone, can you help figure out why?

If you encountered the same problem on Kubuntu, it’s unclear what the solution was. It seems the fix happened unexpectedly and now it’s functioning properly.

You might be missing the necessary kernel modules. Identify your Wi-Fi card type and the required modules.

It appears to be an Intel Duel Band AC, at least according to the Wi-Fi card label.

The command "lspci" lists all connected devices, while "dmesg | grep error" shows recent kernel messages. Did you set up and activate a network manager?

Use lspci in the terminal to check for the actual device. Next, search online with "Arch + Model".

The command isn't recognized. Network Manager is installed and active.

Make sure to add "lspci" earlier in the process, as it should be included within "pciutils".

I'm sorry for the confusion. The installation disk is named "Edited August 29, 2020" by Lemon797.
