I use iwd instead of wpa_supplicant since a while back. It works quite well in all may installs. If you want to try, here are the steps:

  1. sudo pacman -Syu

  2. sudo pacman -S iwd

  3. Create the file iwd.conf
    sudo nano /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf

  4. Copy and paste the following and save the file:

[device]
wifi.backend=iwd

  1. sudo systemctl stop wpa_supplicant

  2. sudo systemctl enable --now iwd

  3. sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager

  4. If your wifi works, then:

    sudo systemctl mask wpa_supplicant

Hope this helps!
