Hey Everyone,
Upgraded arch and now no wireless :(

also if i do $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'ifconfig wlan0 up') i get $this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', 'SIOCSIFFLAGS: No such file or directory')

lsmod:

Which device?

If it is a Raspberry Pi
ln -s /usr/lib/firmware /lib/firmware

I have a feeling, I am still right. Something about this rings horribly of not having the firmware in the right place.

ok after reinstalling again and upgrading packages one by one, seems that kmod is the culprit. I haven't troubleshooted past this.
