 Hey everyone,
 I'm trying to install Arch. The first time I tried installing everything
 worked fine, even the wifi, which usually doesn't work with linux.
However,
 my laptop battery died in the middle of downloading packages because I
was
 careless and hadn't plugged it in.
 Now, when I enter ip link set wlp2s0f0 up, it doesn't set the
interface
 up. Strangely, when I reboot, the interface is renamed to wlan0 (that's
 what it was when the wifi worked), even though the wiki says it
shouldn't.
 Running modprobe -r rtl8192ce  modprobe rtl8192ce changes the
interface
 name to wlp2s0f0. ip link gives me (besides the lo interface)
 3: wlp2s0f0: BROADCAST, MULTICAST mtu 1500 qdisc nook state DOWN mode
 DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 00:e0:4c:81:92:53 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 Before, it gave me:
 2: wlan0: NO-CARRIER, BROADCAST, MULTICAST, UP mtu 1500 qdisc mq state
 DOWN mode DEFAULT qlen 1000 link/ether 24:ec:99:4c:60:1f brd
 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
 What else can I try? Lspci and dmesg show that the firmware has been
loaded
 and that the card has been recognized.

 The first thing I would try would be to move
 /etc/udev/rules.d/network_persistent.rules to root's home directory,
 and reboot.  That way you should wind up with the wlp2s0f0 name
 whether it's working or not, otherwise.

Fixed. I explain how the problem was fixed in post number 20. Here is the
