It's a shame you don't have an ethernet connection just to update pacman and see if the update resolves the issue.

cat herder, I think they have and did sometime ago in this thread. Just waiting to see if it connects from the live environment first 'cause it makes no sense - the DE see's the wi-fi network so the card is communicating with the outside World, and it appears to connect but in reality hasn't - but the important thing is it see's the network to begin with (and takes the pw without error too, its just weird that it doesn't after what was a simple install, then an obvious reboot, then a huge update on what was wired then an obvious reboot again...)

I think the problem may be the driver: I have a Broadcom card and that is not alway picked up.

I tried

Code: [Select]

yay -S broadcom-wl

but yay is not recognized by Artix.

sudo pacman -S yay

broadcom-wl is in the repos

sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl-dkms

sudo pacman -S yay ➙ does not recognize yay

broadcom-wl is in the repos

sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl-dkms ➙ that went fine. All I had to do was input the password again, and bingo: wireless works.

Thank you @cat herders of linux and @gavincc for your help.
