Wifi (temporaily?) not working after initial setup #2

Hello.
I tried the kde themed version, everything worked fine during the install and Arch booted smoothly. Good job for you.
However, I've find that my Wi-Fi doesn't work after install. I'm using an Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 Adapter integrated in my laptop's motherboard. Right after the first boot, the networks tab in the plasma taskbar is blank, and there are no Wi-Fi devices shown when using ip link.
What is weird is, when I use lspci -k, lspci can detect the existence of my Wi-Fi card and it stated there are two kernel modules iwlwifi, wl installed and iwlwifi driver in use.
I tried modprobe wl and modprobe iwlwifi. Interestingly after serveral times of reboot ( I was desperatingly figuring out what happened ), the Wi-Fi worked without any sign or notice.
I reinstalled from your ISO several times and tried both offline and online installation. The Wi-Fi worked well in the live environment and the installer did passed the credentials to the new install, and the settings of connection can be seen in kde settings. When I click on the saved connection, kde also pop out a notification telling me that kde failed to get secrets. I don't know if this is related to the problem.
Since the Wi-Fi recovered weirdly, I didn't save any logs. However you can ask me ahead if you need more details. Thank you.
