Wifi and Bluetooth not working

I have been using Manjaro with no problem but after installing EndeavourOS on my laptop, Wifi and Bluetooth stopped working.
I have DW1820a wifi card which uses Broadcom chip

Is it DELL XPS 13 used with DELL USB-C dock, by chance?

I asked, because:

Note: The Broadcom brcmfmac kernel module causes issues with Dell USB-C docks. Notably, the USB ports and ethernet connection will stop working when there are WiFi connection issues.

P.S. Oh, and welcome! :partying_face:

For wifi, try uninstalling r8168:

sudo pacman -R r8168

For bluetooth, you have to install it. See:

Welcome aboard!

sudo pacman -S --needed bluez bluez-utils
sudo systemctl start bluetooth --> bt is on till next reboot
sudo systemctl enable --now bluetooth —> bt will be on per default on every boot

xfce4 --> sudo pacman -S blueberry or sudo pacman -S blueman to have a config gui available

GNOME and KDE will have a bt-gui included
