This device cannot establish a connection to the internet across any operating system I set up.
I'm going to be as descriptive as i can. A while ago i got a used lenovo ThinkPad x220, it was running windows 10 by default. I installed arch on it and it was working. Some time later I opened my Tails usb on it and I'm pretty sure that's when the issue began. (I think ) After that i booted back to my arch and i couldn't connect to the internet. I've tried a lot, redoing the network setup, installing windows 7 (it said that there were no connections available and the drivers were seeming missing), reinstalling arch, but nothing fixed it. I tried diagnosing the issue and here's what i think: it seems that when i try to connect wirelessly, it connects to the network but i dont get an ip address and iwd says 'No ip address, is dhcp configured?'. I would appreciate any help, i can provide output but now i don't have any os installed, only latest arch iso, but even on this live usb the problem persists
Typically, a physical switch or slider is needed to turn on or off all Wi-Fi features. Also, verify your BIOS settings. What do you mean by the "Tails" reference?
I've managed to establish a working connection by adjusting the DHCPCD settings in dhcpcd.conf. I'm somewhat pleased with that, though I'm not sure how to address the wireless issue. Since the wired connection is already functional, it doesn't seem to be a major concern right now.
