Hey guys,

After the yesterday update, wifi on my laptop stopped working. The kernel was upgraded from 6.10.6 to 6.11.0, the configuration did not change (make oldconfig). Older kernels load fine and wifi works.

[EDIT:]
Initial error message in dmesg pointed at firmware not being found: even though eix reported linux-firmware is installed, I reinstalled linux-firmware, but that did not help. Older kernels seem to work ok.

Code:

$ dmesg | grep -i wifi

Is there some new Intel firmware/microcode changes recently that I should take into account?


Regards,
V

[EDIT:] I've updated the intel microcode with the latest version from https://github.com/intel/Intel-Linux-Processor-Microcode-Data-Files/tree/main/intel-ucode, set the Device-Drivers -> Wireless -> Intel Wifi to [M] in the kernel config and recompiled the kernel: not sure which of those steps helped, but it's working now.

I guess this has helped:
