I think it’s just relatively new and not well supported yet, as far as I know Intel stuff is generally “Linux friendly”. I see there are dozens of similar devices and sometimes it’s just a matter that the specific card is simply “unknown”.
It sounds like I may have to wait a while till someone comes up with drivers for it. The Intel NUC was discontinued and it looks like BeeLink is the new NUC. The Mini S Pro 12 seems like it hasn’t been on the market for awhile like you mentioned.
“Activate a connection” is the correct option, although it sounds like I may have misunderstood the issue (it sounded like you couldn’t see a way to connect to a WiFi network).
If you don’t have drivers for an Intel WiFi card, I would try switching to another kernel. The Zen kernel is popular here because it is stable and gives good performance:
sudo pacman -S linux-zen linux-zen-headers
Boot with your new kernel in the advanced options in the Grub menu after a reboot.

Ah, here we go, now I see my WiFi connection from my Bell Canada issued router. It asked for a password and it was connected after that

I would say this is good to go at this point. Thank you for all the help!
