iwlwifi not loading in kernel Wi-Fi 6 AX210


this is both in Oracle Linux and Ubuntu. latest-greatest.
I can see the wifi card but unable to activate it. Strangely I had it working on OL9.2 before, forgot what I did to make it work. The card works under Win10 so I know the hardware is good. There is no option to turn on wifi. It's as if it's not read into the kernel.

So essentially a follow-up on your other similar/identical thread??
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...rs-4175730432/

Did you try putting "ubuntu intel AX210/AX211/AX411" into a search engine?? If you did, you might have found:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1398...e-ax211-160mhz

...an exact answer to your question, with commands to run to fix it. As you were told in your other not-followed-up in thread, you appear to be missing firmware. And you (again) don't say what version of Ubuntu or Oracle Linux. Your other threads mention xubuntu 22.04, but the latest version of that is 23.10, with a different kernel. Which is it?? And Ubuntu 23.10 seems to include these drivers/firmware.

@etcetera See this below for more info as they are supported.
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/...lwifi#firmware
https://www.intel.com/content/www/us.../wireless.html

I'd also recompile a new custom kernel such as the 6.1.x which is I hope LTS?
In this custome kernel I'd make sure to enable loading the firmware.

The new Ubuntu 23.10 kernel has this in it already, and the firmware package can already be loaded with the first links provided. The OP posted almost this same question before, but doesn't put much effort into researching or following instructions.

Best scenario, maybe OP just got married and his new Fun & Finance Minister took away his laptop...

OP decided he'd rather not partake in the forums anymore because he was being asked to conform to the same rules that everyone else coforms to.

FWIW the AX210 doesn't work for me with a fresh Ubuntu 23.10.1 LIVE USB boot. There seems to be a lot of incorrect information being posted here so let me try to clear this up.

This seems to be the problem:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=217894

This has not been resolved but there does seem to be patch for it:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wirele...9d03@changeid/

Update:
Using the latest linux-firmware from git does seem to fix it also.

Yes, these things were already posted about a kernel bug and about the version of Ubuntu that has it in there. The Live version doesn't. So there was nothing incorrect posted here, thanks.
