So I’ve been trying to connect to wifi for about two hours, prior to this I always simply used an ethernet cable. First thing I tried was connect by using the “advanced network configuration” I found when browsing through d-menu. I inserted all the info- my password, the device, mac address etc., but that didn’t seem to work. Then I asked the internet and I tried doing nmcli device wifi rescan but it says No Wi-Fi device found.
Restarting iwlwifi doesn’t help,
lspci | grep Network
shows my WiFi module, but it doesnt show up when i type ip link
dmesg | grep -i iwlwifi
outputs: probe with driver iwlwifi failed with error -110
at the end of the message
I don’t understand some stuff when running inxi -Faz and I feel like I could maybe release info I don’t wan’t to release, as paranoid as that sounds. But after running inxi -Faz I did actually find something out, under the Network section it shows my Wifi Adapter as “intel alder lake-p pch cnvi wifi” BUT right after it it says “driver: N/A modules: iwlwifi” it also says “kernel port: N/A” if that is relevant.
Here I found another person with this exact wifi module, which seems to have similar issues running Linux with the ThinkPad: https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/Drivers-not-working-with-Alder-Lake-P-PCH-CNVi-WiFi/m-p/1604370
It’s only hardware info. It shows info that is pertinent. The info you are giving I already know from your previous post. I’m more interested in knowing the hardware chip hence why i ask and also shows desktop etc etc. Everything matters…
Are you dual booting with Windows? If so i would turn off the fast startup feature in Windows under Power Management. Is your Bios up to date?
