[SOLVED] Can't install Artix Linux base due to not being able to connect to wifi
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 video from Mental Outlaw, this article, 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
