|
|
Hi, My current kernel is not connecting to my wifi at full speed. The Intel 9560-ac connects on 2.4 and 5GHz at 54Mbit. I get no warnings in dmesg that HT is blocked because of TKIP. With an Ubuntu live USB I get full speed.

The noticeable differences are the HT and VHT blocks reported. I have the AES crypto blocks added to the kernel. Does anyone know what is missing? |

I loaded both the 4.19.72 and the current 5.3.7 kernel with the Ubuntu config without any success. So it doesn't seem to be a kernel config thing. This remains a mystery |

Allrighty, after inspecting the source of iw I dove into the kernel. I added some debug output to iwlwifi. It became clear that there was still a disable_11n=1 floating around in the configs. In etc/modprobe.d/ I kept a file that was still processed. The long and short of it is that the advice on the big internet to disable_11n=1 on iwlwifi also disables 802.11ac. This seems to be the current state of affairs in the iwlwifi kernel module. This information I also added to the Gentoo wiki page of iwlwifi. |
