Note, I already changed those with version 71 as you suggested. Did not work upon reboot…

ricklinux · December 30, 2022, 12:22am

No don’t rename a bunch of firmware. I just suggested the one it was trying to use.

Maybe try using downgrade. Not sure if you have it installed. You can check with

pacman -Qi downgrade

Then you could try downgrading firmware.

sudo downgrade linux-firmware

Then select the package that is earlier in cache to downgrade it. This is my only suggestion as i don’t know what else to tell you.

ricklinux:

Doing that brings up list of 60 or so

linux-firmware   date.numberletters  1 remote

How do I know what to choose?

anonemouse · December 30, 2022, 4:18pm

Looking at the journalctl link I posted, I noticed this:


Dec 25 16:00:12 vince-g5kd kernel: iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver

Does that mean the firmware was changed? That was the day I did the update…

ricklinux · December 30, 2022, 4:23pm

It just shows what’s loading. So it looks like version 72.xx The log you gave shows back from October that is showing version 71.xx…

Oct 30 12:17:22 vince-g5kd kernel: iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: loaded firmware version 71.058653f6.0 QuZ-a0-hr-b0-71.ucode op_mode iwlmvm

Edit I’m not even sure that firmware is the problem but there have been updates to firmware. You’ll have to look through dmesg and journalctl to see what error messages are coming up.

ricklinux · December 30, 2022, 4:30pm

The journal log you posted shows it failed trying version 72 then it shows trying to load 71 right after?

It’s the end of December how long has the WiFi not worked?

anonemouse · December 30, 2022, 7:37pm

I only noticed the WiFi not working at the family member’s house on the 26th, I used the WiFi at home to do the update on the 25th. I would guess that the update on the 25th is what might’ve caused the issue…

anonemouse · January 2, 2023, 8:10pm

So I downgraded the firmware using sudo downgrade linux-firmware to a Sept version of the firmware, rebooted, did not work.

ricklinux · January 2, 2023, 8:12pm

Doe WiFi work on the live ISO?

anonemouse · January 3, 2023, 12:47am

it does… but the live iso I’m using is maybe a few months old, probably Sept. Should I update it?

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 1:04am

You can’t update it. You could download the latest ISO and try that one.

anonemouse · January 3, 2023, 2:12am

Updated the live ISO, WiFi works in live ISO. So I guess i will have to reinstall EOS?

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 2:19am

I just don’t know what’s been done to make it not work?

anonemouse · January 3, 2023, 2:30am

It’s a mystery for the ages, eh?

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 3:01am

You could try some options in

 /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

add

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
options iwlwifi swcrypto=0
options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0
options iwlwifi power_save=0
options iwlwifi uapsd_disable=1

options iwlmvm power_scheme=1

See if these do anything after creating this file and adding these options then reboot.

Edit: I changed the name of the file to iwlwifi to match above.

anonemouse · January 3, 2023, 3:16am

There’s no iwlwifi.conf in that folder, should I make one?

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 3:23am

You have to create the file. You can use nano to do the whole thing from scratch or another way if you know how.

Edit:

sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf

add

options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1
options iwlwifi swcrypto=0
options iwlwifi bt_coex_active=0
options iwlwifi power_save=0
options iwlwifi uapsd_disable=1

Then use

ctrl + o then enter to save
ctrl + x to exit nano

reboot

anonemouse · January 3, 2023, 3:32am

didn’t work. Although, just check iwd status and it’s disabled. Is that something else? systemctl status iwlwifi doesn’t return anything.

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 3:35am

iwlwifi isn’t a service. It’s a kernel module.

iwd isn’t needed it’s just another way of connecting with WiFi.

systemctl status wpa_supplicant

Edit: Also check

systemctl status NetworkManager

ricklinux · January 3, 2023, 3:40am

You can try removing and reloading the module also.

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi

sudo modprobe iwlwifi
