Hello, i currently use Windows on a new machine and i would like to install Arch Linux. My main problem here is that my motherboard does not have integrated wifi, i need a driver for the antenna that i got plugged in the back and i don't know if the driver is available on Arch Linux. I've used Arch Linux before but never seriously did because i always ended up switching back to Windows because of problems. And i'm guessing if i can't connect to the internet from the installer, i won't be able to install anything but arch itself right? I don't know which is what in terms of hardware so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance i won't instantly respond to answers

My network specs on Windows device manager:
"Network adapers", Bluetooth Device, MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card, WAN Miniports for IKEv2, IP, IPv6, L2TP, Network Monitor, PPPQE, PPTP, SSTP
I attached an image of what the antenna looks like, found it on google it's the same as mine.

Why not boot your pc to a 'Live" version of Arch Linux?

If the wifi works there it will also work on a proper Install

How do i do that? Do i just boot as usual with the main Archlinux bootable? Sorry i didn't think it through very much before posting i should have done my tests

Thanks for the reply and indeed it works in the live installation. Thanks for the quick answer and sorry for disturbing you with my absolute obliviousness. :/
