 Posted: Thu Jan 07, 2021 4:18 pm Post subject: iwlwifi doesn't connect with hardware |
 |
|
Hi all, I just built a new PC with dual boot, Windows 10 and Glorious Gentoo. Didn't have any issues with the installation, no issues with the connection through live USB -- problems, as usual, came after rebooting into my new system.
I'm using a motherboard with in-built Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200, which requires iwlifi drivers. Of course, I went through https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iwlwifi and followed the instructions (I tried multiple methods listed). It seems like the drivers cannot connect with the hardware, and I cannot see the wireless device with:
| Code: |
ip addr
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
inet 127.0.0.1/8 brd 127.255.255.255 scope host lo
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
inet6 ::1/128 scope host
valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: eth0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/ether 2c:f0:5d:cc:87:c6 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: sit0@NONE: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop state DOWN group default qlen 1000
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
|
Just to be clear, the hardware IS there, the "lspci -nnkv | sed -n '/Network/,/^$/p'" command outputs:
| Code: |
28:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX200 [8086:2723] (rev 1a)
DeviceName: RTL8111EPV

Kernel modules: iwlwifi
|
(I skipped the ethernet device, which works fine with ifb kernel driver).
So, the hardware is seen, and correct drivers are selected. Now, the "dmesg | grep wifi" command outputs:
| Code: |
[ 3.422273] iwlwifi 0000:28:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[ 3.456479] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:28:00.0 failed with error -110
|
The driver is trying to enable the correct device (00:28:00.0), but fails with what I think is a timeout error. The /lib/firmware folder does contain the correct firmware for this AX200 chip, which is iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode. This repeats if I try to use modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi.
The kernel version is 5.4.80-gentoo-r1. Any help/ideas will be very appreciated, I could potentially use genkernel to automatically generate all the kernel/modules, but I would rather avoid that if I can :/ |

I got this:
| Code: |
[ 0.557781] pci 0000:28:00.0: [8086:2723] type 00 class 0x028000
[ 0.557824] pci 0000:28:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xfc600000-0xfc603fff 64bit]

[ 3.599327] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:28:00.0 failed with error -110
|
So again, ends with the iwlwifi -110 error |

Changing bios settings solved the issue, thank you charles17!  |
