to close this thread, i figured out to use iwd package during install and keep it instead of using a network gui manager. n.b. this mailman is confusing to use hence two separate posts for same subject. On Sun, 26 Mar 2023, 1:02 pm rino mardo <rino19ny@gmail.com> wrote:
if i stop the iwd, my wireless connections goes away. wlan0 also disappears from the output of ip link. even with systemd-networkd is running.

No the issue is that you are using iwd. Turn off iwd and switch to network manager if you want to use the applet

upon running nmcli, it shows disconnected but the wlan0 have an ip address.
i remembered when i finished the installation i only have CLI. also no network connectivity. somehow i managed to have network connectivity by installing the package iwd. after that, i have connection via my wireless and i proceeded to install kde (including plasma-nm).
since recalling i'm using iwd package, when i stop that service the GUI network icon still shows all 5 bars but no AP listed. when i restart iwd, i get a list of AP in my area and i also get network connectivity in terminal.
so i guess the network icon is the problem then?

However, it is possible that you have a second network manager or static configuration configured, so network manager backs out. You can check that by typing nmcli in the terminal, it should show you the status of network manager on your system. If it shows connected, then the display applet in your Toolbar is the issue. If it shows disconnected, then you should check what other network manager you have installed, and uninstall it. > > https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration Shows a list of possible options.
