 Posted: Mon Sep 06, 2021 12:39 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] iwlwifi problem with AX210 |
 |
|
Heya! Hope everyone is doing ok this monday.
Long story short. I installed gentoo for the first time on my thinkpad t14 gen2. After following the handbook and reading alot on gentoo forums i managed to gett most of my system working except the wifi adapter.
Ive searched both on the forums and wiki on iwlwifi, but eveything i try i get sit0@NONE when i do ip link. However when i chroot in from ubuntu live cd it works fine and i find wlp9s0.
dmesg | grep iwlwifi
| Code: | enabling device (0000 -> 0002) api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver, loaded firmware version 59.601f3a66.0 ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode op_mode iwlmvmm Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz, REV=0x420
|
ls /sys/class/net
lspci -k
| Code: | Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 2725 (rev 1a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0020
Kernel modules: iwlwifi |
I probably just did something stupid, this is the first time running gentoo after all. 
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Kind Regards,
WhileNop

Welcome to Gentoo Forums.
If the wifi is working with ubuntu live cd it means your kernel .config is lacking.
Did you compile the kernel yourself using menuconfig?
There are two ways to remedy this.
1.The Gentoo Way.
Read the Wiki and add all pertinent to iwlwifi config to your kernel by menuconfig and recompile the kernel.
2.The non-Gentoo way
Install the binary kernel
gentoo-kernel-bin
and
linux-firmware
Rebuild your initrd if any
update grub.
NOTE you might need ~arch version of kernel and linux-firmware (ie latest) --if everything else fails
Its up to you how much of a learning curve you want right now.

whilenop,
I have Intel wifi (AC, older than yours), but I have no suggestion beyond what Almahant posted. I have had a similar problem. I hope you've followed all the recommendations of https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iwlwifi I think in order to analyze a problem like yours you would need to post the full output of the following:
1. dmesg
2. lsmod
3. lspci -kvvv
4. your kernel config
5. emerge --info
You can use wgetpaste, https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wgetpaste
I have the following in my config | Code: | thinkpad ~ # grep -e CONFIG_IWL -e 80211 -e PCI_MSI /usr/src/linux/.config
CONFIG_CFG80211=m

Thank you!
Yes i compiled the kernel by myself so its prob where the problem is. And i really want to go the Gentoo way.
Thank you for the tips larrys! I think i found the main problem. When i do lsmod i only see the following:
| Code: | lsmod
Module Size Used by
x86_pkg_temp_thermal 20480 0
efivarfs 16304 1
|
That explains why i only gett sit0@NONE when the iwlwifi module isnt even loaded.
Ive dubbel checked the network part in the handbook and iwlwifi part on the wiki.
And when i check my everything looks like it does on thoose pages.
After that i did:
| Code: | | make && make modules_install |
| Code: | make install
reboot |
I also tried to force load using:
| Code: | | nano -w /etc/modules-load.d/network.conf |
So to my noob question: Do i need to do something more to load my modules?
dmesg: http://dpaste.com/79VNFKQJ6 // This file maybe is missleading because i did it using chroot from ubuntu live cd because its the only way for me to gett internet
lscpi -kvvv: https://dpaste.com/HPBZJMXDN
emerge --info: https://dpaste.com/ART3PCB6D

whilenop,
I don't know if you seen this post, https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1141390.html, but there's a firmware bug for the AX210. The OP there installed a version of genkernel-bin, but the version they used is masked. I don't know what to suggest. |

Update: I changed kernel from version 5.10.63 -> 5.13.14 and now the wifi card shows when i do ip link! 
But its one thing i dont understand.
On https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi it clearly says that AX210 is supported on kernel version >= 5.10.
Thanks again for all help and suggestions!

Good job. The bug was introduced in the sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20210315 version: bug 777324. This may explain why your Ubuntu release worked: the first line of dmesg said it was built in April. So it may have been patched.
Other Forum post was [SOLVED] Bluetooth issue with Intel® Wi-Fi 6E AX210. Sorry about that. |

larrys posted a bare URL, hoping it would be automatically linked. However, a trailing comma was included in the link, making it invalid. The proper way to do inter-topic links is via the [topic] tag. Similarly, links to Gentoo bugs have the useful shorthand of [bug]. |
