I've been really wanting to install Artix Linux on my laptop, First of all my laptop model is
20DM000VUS ThinkPad S3 Yoga 14 and here is the section of the
lspci -k command that shows my wifi card:
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
Kernel modules: iwlwifi
This laptop doesn't have an ethernet port, so I have to rely on wifi to Install it, but I can't connect to wifi at all! I 've Installed couple of distros multiple times on this machine, Linux Mint, Pop OS, Manjaro and recently switched to Arch, none of them really had an Issue like that, so I think it might not be an Issue with my wifi card. I've tried many methods I've found on the internet. but none of them seem to work, for example: this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGyHDIYlLFA) video from Mental Outlaw, this article (https://www.blackmoreops.com/2014/09/18/connect-to-wifi-network-from-command-line-in-linux/), also some other stuff I can't find right now. When it comes to that article, when I ran
wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
and then
iw wlan0 link
It always showed
Not connected. I tried replacing
wext with
iwlwifi in
wpa_supplicant -B -D wext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf it gave an error along the lines of
"iwlwifi" is not a supported driver
and it still says
Not connected. I really don't know what to do tbh, any help would be appreciated, thank you :)
It worked! Thank you very much phoenix, for helping me out :-*
Just remove connman, use network manager instead. Iwlwifi has some problems with connman. It's too big of a bug, don't even waste time.
