I recently installed Black Arch Linux and am using wifi-menu to attempt to connect to wifi. I have tried this before on other computers and it worked fine. Here's what the output looks like:
[ blackarch ~ ]# wifi-menu
Scanning for networks... failed
No networks found.
Again this has worked before without a problem. Any fixes?
You’ll probably need to do a bit of digging to make that work.
General WiFi troubleshooting on Linux looks roughly like this:
check if the WiFi device shows up.
ifconfig -a # should show you your network devices.
If no WiFi devices, then you need to figure out why not: is the driver loaded, is there a hot key on the device that disables the WiFi, is there a setting in the BIOS that disables it, is there even a Linux driver for the WiFi chipset.
Those are the common things to look at, each with its own potentially complicated troubleshooting routines. Good luck!
