hello and welcome,
Did you using Windows in Dual Boot with Garuda?
Please also post your garuda-inxi. The iwlwifi driver should detect your Device.

Which Kernel you are using? Is your Bios up to date? Did you checked that wifi is enabled in the Bios Settings? We need the full inxi.
What you mean by it sudo modprobe iwlwifi is not working ='( did it shows any error?
Maybe you try to reset the Bios ?
can you check if its blocked?
rfkill list
you also can check if you have the sudo pacman -S linux-firmware package installed. It is preinstalled normally.

Please post your full garuda-inxi output, so that we don’t need to play a game of 50 questions, such as:
What kernel are you using?
The best suggestions for you have already been put forth. Start by updating or reseting your bios, and test alternate kernels.
If we don’t receive your full garuda-inxi on your next post, your help request will likely be dust binned. Your full specs from a garuda-inxi are a requirement to receive assistance on the Garuda forum.
Your full cooperation would be greatly appreciated.

Reboot and try again, maybe it help.

Like @SGS already mentioned reboot first.
If it not helps i would power off the pc and unplug the Power Cord and press few times the power button to empty the capasitors if a bios reset not working.
There is a newer dated version of your bios firmware but its same version 2701.

you also can try to install the lts kernel over Garuda-Rani - System settings- Kernelsudo pacman -S linux-lts linux-lts-headers

brcmfmac is a Broadcom wifi driver/module it should not be showing in your lsmod output. Did you install any Broadcom wifi driver/firmware package? If you have, be sure to uninstall that package. You can also try rmmodding the brcmfmac module.
You have edited your prior posts. I thought you said you tested the LTS kernel, if not be sure you also test the LTS kernel as well.

It is likely being loaded as a kernel module, try:
sudo modprobe -rv brcmfmac
sudo lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs sudo rmmod
sudo modprobe iwlwifi

thank you! i managed to remove brcmfmac
sudo modprobe runs with no errors but the wifi adapter isn’t working. i know it works because i can use it on ubuntu live..
im gonna try and poweroff / disconnect my PC as someone suggested on a reply above..

Be sure to also disconnect your Ethernet cable, and don’t plug it back in right away.
