Issue: Sometimes I boot up and the wifi scan will see all of the nearby networks for about three seconds before it indicates that there are no networks available.
Note: When it does work, it works permanently. There are no intermittent drops or slow speeds. My workaround has been restarting my computer over and over until the wifi works and then avoiding shutting down.
wlp3s0 is down.

I do have linux-firmware installed.
I do have a Windows partition on an external drive, but it is messed up and I don't think fast boot was on.
In this pastebin, you will find the journalctl of a good boot and a bad boot:
Follow what tbg says about changing your grub config file to make sure your driver initializes--that's what fixed it for me.
