I am trying to make this work, but I am unfortunately getting that I cannot clone the repo:
$ makepkg -s

This is the vanilla Arch package with a patch that prevents the iwlwifi driver from becoming unusable due to a beacon timeout firmware issue. (See https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203709)
To use this, use the following kernel module parameter (e.g., in /etc/modprobe.d/wifi-fix.conf): options iwlwifi beacon_timeout=256
Here the number 256 is the number of beacons that must be missed before the driver disconnects.
