If you are dual booting on Windows make sure fast startup in Windows power management is disabled.
I am not. Wondering what the problem could be. I`m using Arch now and it has the same problem.
did a sudo cp iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.gcode /lib/firmware with this, still nothing.
You just download and extract the files. They will be inside the extracted folder. You can copy the firmware file to /lib/firmware
I guess you can try that. Not sure if that firmware file already exists or is different? Have you also checked nothing is blocking it.
rfkill
Edit: If so use
rfkill unblock all
5 wlan phy3 unblocked unblocked
6 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked
Nothing yet.
Also, i tried inxi-i again without the dongle and that is the result
Network:
Device-1: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet

IF: enp11s0 state: down mac: a8:a1:59:18:ed:99
WAN IP: No WAN IP found. Connected to web? SSL issues? Try enabling dig
Did you try again sudo modprobe iwlwifi also did you update to the 6.9.9-arch1-1 kernel?
Edit: Do you have Windows installed with EOS? Fast start up feature in Windows under Windows Power Management needs to be disabled.
@pierrelatour
This is a Pci-e card. You said it worked on Windows. Itâs not going to work if not detected on arch. I donât know the reason why itâs not being detected. Thatâs what needs to be figured out.
What does this show?

So wlan0 is the dongle, i don`t know what enp11s0 is probably the internet device.
It just isnât seeing the hardware. So it doesnât load the module.

@pierrelatour
Itâs just not seeing the hardware. Are you running on the latest kernel? 6.9.9-arch1-1
Edit: Donât know what to do from here. Are you able to return it and get a different brand?
2 years ago I added Bluetooth - just a small dongle and with a shorter delivery time than Aliexpress (which has changed a lot with respect to pricing and shippingi here in Thailand since the onset of COVID).
I ordered via Shopee and discovered that honesty is not their strongest point - opening up my first dongle revealed what I expected, the chip was not an original of the stated internal chip.
With some hardware, the difference is obvious and easy to spot (assuming you can get into the packaging - my dongles were easy enough to open up without breaking them. With others (my Class-D audio amplifiers, for example) they are sometimes hidden with heatsinks⌠for example with the TPA3116D2 amplifier chips which cost around $1 each - with some being labelled accurately (with Chinese chips - which arenât too bad, but certainly are not quite as effective unless youâre just driving cheap speakers) and priced accordingly 60% the price of the genuine article.
Then others are deceptive, labelled as original. I forget the detail now, but China has many âcloneâ chips which are generally engineered for Windows computers where theyâll probably just work⌠but with Bluetooth often not.
Thus returned, refunded and replaced with another order⌠which also failed in a similar manner.
My third order worked - the whole process took about a month.
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)
TLDR - always make sure you can get a quick return/refund and then move on to the next one.
It worked. It`s embarrassing but I just changed the PCI slot and it worked for some reason. I would like to apologize the time you guys spent with me.

I was going to ask this question if you had it installed in the correct Pci-e slot? Or if you had another available slot to try it in. How Windows arranges itâs hardware is not the same on linux. I feel just as embarrassed for not asking you so donât feel bad. Glad itâs working now. It should show up in the hardware now with inxi -Na
You can just mark post 36 as the solution then after this.

Glad you got it working! Good call on trying another slot 
Exactly. Thank you, Rick.
