 Posted: Fri Oct 18, 2019 5:12 pm Post subject: [Solved] Intel Wifi-6 AX200 wifi working on gentoo? |
 |
|
I have a Gigabyte Aorus x570-I (itx) motherboard which has intel wifi 6 (ax200 unless I'm mistaken, not sure how to tell) and I can't seem to get it running on gentoo-sources (kernel 4.19.72)
I have set the kernel options listed here: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iwlwifi#IEEE_802.11
I tried using iwlwifi+iwlmvm built into kernel with 'iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode' (referenced here)specified in the kernel's EXTRA_FIRMWARE, and I also tried using them as modules. Neither allowed me to see my wifi network interface with `iw dev`
am I doing something incorrectly? I did notice that the iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode firmware binary provided by intel on kernel.org is different from the iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode provided by gentoo's linux-firmware according to `diff`. I did not attempt to install the kernel.org firmware because I did not want to overwrite the existing /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode and interfere with portage. I'm not sure why they differ or how to properly handle that. If I must switch from gentoo-sources to git-sources for a newer kernel, I'll need to learn how to determine which versions are supported with x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers.
Any guidance would be appreciated, I'm losing my mind 
EDIT: I've now tried using 5.2.3-ck kernel, the latest from ck-sources, with both iwlwifi and iwlmvm loaded as modules, and `iw dev` still returns nothing. I also tried 5.4rc2 from git-sources and nvidia-drivers wouldn't work with that, but I still checked `iw dev` via terminal and that didn't work either. I've now tried 5.3.6-r1 from gentoo-sources as well.
Here is output of modinfo for iwlwifi and iwlmvm, curiously I notice that iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode is not listed in the firmware section...
EDIT2: I noticed this snippet from dmesg:
| Code: | [ 3.964758] igb 0000:03:00.0 enp3s0: renamed from eth0

I searched for iwlwifi error -110 and apparently it stands for ETIMEDOUT

I believe you are correct, I just created a fedora beta live usb with kernel 5.3.0-0rc6 and iwlwifi did list cfg80211 as a dependency, and wifi was working. Any idea what might cause this issue?
EDIT: The issue is solved, thanks for the help. Disabling 'fast startup' in the neighboring Windows 10 OS seems to have solved the issue. |
