Connect Official Wifi/Bt Module
#2
Hi,

To start off, you will possibly need to use the Ethernet connection to get some packages using pacman (can't verify if this step is needed with this image):

pacman -S iw wpa_supplicant netctl

Next, you will need to load the driver module for the wifi board. To do this temporarily, run:

modprobe 8723bs

To have it loaded on each boot, add a file to /etc/module-load.d/ called 8723bs.conf, and add the text "8723bs" to the file.

If you check "ip link", you should now be able to see wlan0 and wlan1. From here, you can use either iw or netctl to configure your wifi settings.
