Arch Linux Wifi Problem

Hello there!

I managed to install Arch Linux ARM. The problem is the Wifi, which does not work. I did add in /boot/config.txt

dtparam=nvme
dtparam=pciex1_gen=3
dtoverlay=dwc2,dr_mode=host
dtparam=ant2

I did install networkmanager and did activate it.
with nmcli radio wifi on and nmcli dev wifi list i see the correct wlan, which is green colored. But when i connect with nmcli --ask dev wifi connect network-ssid and type the correct password i get:

brcmfmac: brcmf_set_channel: set chanspec 0xd0.. fail, reason -52

all over the place.
I need to turn off wifi again.

Any idea?

I could fix the problem installing iwd

If someone is interested, here are all the steps I have done:
