I can’t seem to get wifi working on ArchLabs (it works on Vanilla Arch)
Typing in “wifi-menu” outputs "Invalid interface specification).
Typing in “ip link” only outputs lo and eno1.
I’ve tried everything… any help?
May be a missing driver. Do you know what brand of wireless card?
If not, post the output of:
lspci

What have you actually tried?
Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
What does sudo ifconfig show ?
The command ifconfig doesn’t exist (I’m doing on a live usb).
So you haven’t done an actual install?
You posting from a live usb with a wired connection? You can install the broadcom wireless drivers from the command line, and I think it will carry over to the install.

Sorry im on slackware at the moment.
From the arch wiki they deprecated net-tools / ifconfig in favour of iproute2.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#net-tools
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Network_configuration#iproute2
so instead of ifconfig try ip addr
this will show us what devices are available and if they are up or down.
More info here, https://jlk.fjfi.cvut.cz/arch/manpages/man/ip.8
also this command will give a better picture of functionality.
lspci -knn | grep Net -A2
I have broadcom wifi as well but an older card that linux-firmware covers, your card might need non-free drivers and or dkms, something like broadcom-wl-dkms
In any case, you will need to tether your phone or get a ethernet connection to get wifi capability going.
It was such an hassle to install it using wifi, i just installed it using ethernet
