Framework laptop wifi device error?

26 October 2021, 22:58:50

During installation I was able to configure the wireless drivers and install artix to the internal NVMe drive. I installed the linux-lts kernel which seems to be 5.10.74-1-lts. When I rebooted the system does not have a wlan0 device and doesn't seem to have any other wireless interfaces except for loopback.

The network card I picked was: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX210.

dmesg log can be found here: https://pastebin.com/Fv8u6D2m

the relevant logs start at 899, I think. Specifically this look suspicious:

Code: [Select]

[    3.516302] iwlwifi 0000:aa:00.0: Timeout waiting for PNVM load!
[    3.516304] iwlwifi 0000:aa:00.0: Failed to start RT ucode: -110
[    3.516308] iwlwifi 0000:aa:00.0: iwl_trans_send_cmd bad state = 0
[    3.528819] iwlwifi 0000:aa:00.0: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110

I haven't been able to find out much info about those error messages. Can anyone help me?

@Arch_user installing linux kernel 5.14 worked. I did the following steps:

reboot with live artix linux usb.

connect to wifi:

Code: [Select]

wpa_supplicant -B -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf
dhcpcd wlan0

ensure wifi is working
Code: [Select]
```
ping artixlinux.org
```

remount laptop's hard disk file system and chroot into it

Code: [Select]

mount /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt
mount /dev/nvme0n1p1 /mnt/boot
artix-chroot /mnt

install latest stable linux kernel
Code: [Select]
```
pacman -S linux
```
(optional) check if kernel, ramdisk and fallback are available in
Code: [Select]
```
ls -lsha /boot
```
remove lts linux kernel
Code: [Select]
```
pacman -R linux-lts
```
regenerate grub config
Code: [Select]
```
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
```
reboot

then wlan0 was correctly showing up as a device.
