Right when I started using arch-linux, I know my state will be something like this meme,
Well, yeah, arch-linux has frustrated me on many occasions. Nevertheless, it has given me the greatest compatibility and working experience with all its bleeding edge updates.
Recently I performed an upgrade and ever since I have been facing problems with wireless connections.. And I figured out every time, I am trying to fix the same problem by reinventing the wheel. So thought of maintaining a self-help list so that I can fix it myself without referring through all wiki and going through all those answers..
So few commands that I am supposed to remember for all network issues:
#if system network services are not compatible error comes up,
sudo systemctl enable NetworkManager
#to check what is the current status of wifi and bluetooth (well actually, list of processes affected by rfkill),
watch -n1 rfkill list all
#to set an interface up (In this case wlp4s0),
sudo ip link set wlp4s0 up
Tip:
If wpa_supplicant does not come to the rescue, Use the graphical network manager and try to use 'connect to some hidden network'!
That worked for me though the command line wifi-menu tool showed authentication errors repeatedly.
P.S I know this is so basic, yet I forget these every time. So, this is just a self-help list.
