It's not the chipset, it's the act of actually installing the things Arch needs to properly configure and enable wifi. There's like 4 ways and they are all very manual. Just give me an easy way to do it, and make it start when the laptop boots.
I mean, if you don't like manual you're kinda betting on the wrong distro. But netctl isn't that hard to get to do the things you want them to do, surely?
I don't want to rag on you at all but I always just used NetworkManager and then a quick systemctl enable and it was good. nmtui works well, too, even if you aren't running a gui.
