[SOLVED] Networking Issues

Hello, as of the title I am having some issues with networking (or to be more specific, in firmware loading).
I am on a laptop, and the internal wifi card does not work, I checked dmesg and found (filtered with grep):
Code: [Select]
[    2.703428] Bluetooth: hci0: RTL: loading rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin
[    2.705487] bluetooth hci0: loading /lib/firmware/rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin failed with error -22
[    2.705490] bluetooth hci0: Direct firmware load for rtl_bt/rtl8723b_fw.bin failed with error -22

[    9.888922] r8169 0000:02:00.2: Unable to load firmware rtl_nic/rtl8402-1.fw (-22)

Then I tried to use a WiFi USB stick, and still got similar errors:
Code: [Select]
[    3.951529] mt7601u 1-1:1.0: loading /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin failed with error -22
[    3.951532] mt7601u 1-1:1.0: Direct firmware load for mt7601u.bin failed with error -22
[    3.951854] mt7601u: probe of 1-1:1.0 failed with error -22

[   32.422374] mt7601u 1-3:1.0: loading /lib/firmware/mt7601u.bin failed with error -22
[   32.422383] mt7601u 1-3:1.0: Direct firmware load for mt7601u.bin failed with error -22
[   32.422721] mt7601u: probe of 1-3:1.0 failed with error -22

I think that the problem might be more related to module loading than to driver in itself, but I am not sure, could anyone help me?

package linux-firmware is installed?  i guess, it's not installed, because firmware for rtl8723 IS in linux-firmware package inherent...

Yes, unluckily is not that easy, this is the information about kernel and firmware:
Code: [Select]
$ pacman -Qe | grep linux
linux-firmware 20210511.7685cf4-1
linux-lts 5.10.37-1
linux-lts-headers 5.10.37-1

so put here some logs like dmesg, lspci, lsmod
https://forum.artixlinux.org/index.php/topic,1923.0.html

Ok, the laptop is an ASUS F541UJ-GQ105T, attached there are the logs. The OS is runit-plasma.

Can you use wireless if you boot off one of our live ISOs? Your dmesg shows many -22 firmware errors, but I can't remember right now what can cause them.

try
Code: [Select]
sudo modprobe -rv rtl8723be

$sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be ant_sel=2
or eventually
Code: [Select]
$sudo modprobe -v rtl8723be fwlps=0 ant_sel=2

Just tried, in live it works out-of-the-box  :o
EDIT: searching on the Internet, isn't error 22 invalid argument?

try please newest kernel 5.12.

just a idea,  can you look which Linux-firmware is in your iso?
if iso works, you can try downgrade to same version of firmware in your installed system... maybe help that

I will try, if that doesn't help I'll go with a full system reinstall

post output of,

Code: [Select]
$pacman -Ql linux-firmware | grep rtl8723

If it looks OK but the problem persists, I suggest you try a more recent weekly built iso image.

It was definitely not ok as it gave empty output  :o
In the end I reinstalled the whole system
