[SOLVED] Network interface is not detected after reinstalling

Hi all!

I have recently decided to reorder disk space on my laptop and among all move artix root from large btrfs partition to smaller f2fs one. This step was successful but on "new" setup my wireless interface is not detected. lspci -vvv shows correcponding device and that it requires iwlwifi module but doesn't show "kernel driver in use" parameter. The interface (wlp3s0 or wlan0) is also not shown in /sys/class/net. How can i bring it back?

You could try reinstalling the kernel from the cache, this will also recreate the initrd, check /etc/fstab is correct first as the uuid's will be different for the new partition.

New fstab is correct, the system boots without problems. Reinstalling kernel didn't help
