Ok going to install lts kernel and if i reboot it should load it?
It did not apear in grub what do i need to do to load the lts kernel?
Title: Re: Network issue
Post by: alium on 13 February 2021, 18:55:51
yes, after boot put here dmes output please. You can shutdown your computer, one minute wait and after start it again (for loading new fw <- advises some)
yes, you must modify your boot loader settings. can you put here output from cfg file? probably you use grub, or ?

But how do i load the old kernel?
Title: Re: Network issue
Post by: alium on 13 February 2021, 19:00:04
put here output from your grub.cfg, and after run "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg"
for syslinux you'll need to edit the syslinux config file in /boot/syslinux/syslinux.cfg accordingly, just point everything to the -lts kernel.

question: why you use "acpi_os_name=Linux acpi_osi=" in line
iwlwifi is not recognized and not loaded.... but your BT fw is loaded try "modprobe iwlwifi"
but i think, 5.4. kernel is too much old for your comet lake, try 5.8.x or 5.9.x kernel please - > see this archive

No i just see your NUI in dmesg and search it in internet. I don't know your github page. nm should automaticaly reload/search wifi connection, if iwlwifi modul will property loaded.
you can nm servce restart as usualy (in my case "rc-service NetworkManager restart" ) - no idea, what you use for init

i am not sure about linux-5.10.16, because i am not maintainer of this kernel. I maintain and use linux-zen (and version 5.10.16 will come to testing repo asap after release in archlinux).
can you please test 5.9.14 kernel? if you have time?

linux-10.5.16 is not yet in archlinux's nor artixlinux's repo. it was released 6 hours ago. linux-zen contains some improvements and is more desktop focused. it's a kernel with some tweaks .

Title: Re: Network issue
Post by: alium on 13 February 2021, 20:03:29
ok, we can wait some days,
if 5.10.16 will still not works for you you will be forced from me to install 5.9.x 8) ;D (I need to verify whether it works or not)
because older kernel together with older firmware package should works - if it worked before without problems! Theoretically can work 5.10.15 with older firmware package (they changed wifi 9260 fw in last release of linux-firmware).
it's just necessary test some combinations of kernels and linux-firmware (seems as bug of some package - not sure if linux or linux-firmware)

the last thing we haven't tried is what I don't like about the grub. namely acpi_os_name = Linux acpi_osi =. You really need to remove it, reboot, show dmesg and add it again if it doesn't cause our problem. To exclude all possibilities. even if blacklight doesn't work for a moment

I'm not sure 100%, but downgrading firmware may not work - possibly it's loaded into the device at boot and stored there, and only reloaded if the available version is newer unless you do something to force it to be downgraded. Like Pacman checks if there's an upgrade, it won't do anything if there isn't. Perhaps using another distro, it may reload it if the version is equal or greater.
Title: Re: Network issue
Post by: alium on 20 February 2021, 15:50:27
Or can try boot into Windows, and install wifi driver. Shutdown computer, and start again for reload fw. That can help you, if really that no HW issue is.
Another way is update BIOS, if new version will come, they can update fw too.

that's sucks, if you can't without Windows upgrade your BIOS. I have the same problem - upgrading the BIOS only through Windows at HP - I was "forced" to install Windows on one partition, because it was the >>easiest<< solution how to keep the BIOS up-to-date.
As I say, it sucks that Windows is needed for the easiest way to upgrade the BIOS.

Last year my internal Intel 5300 started going very slowly, about 1mb d/l. I bought a replacement, when I fitted it, the first boot was fine, then it went slow again. That was why I wondered if the firmware was cached in the card somehow, plus I read some stuff online, but I don't think it is in fact. Having recently swapped the mobo this seemed to rule out the hw, so prompted by this thread I gave it another go:
You can see what firmware is loaded with this, I had to install the lshw package first: sudo lshw -C network
sudo mv /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-* (to some other empty dir) Download the firmware for your card direct from Intel here: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html tar -xvzf iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12.tgz cd iwlwifi-5000-ucode-8.24.2.12/ sudo cp iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode /lib/firmware/
Reboot & try it, try another version if it doesn't work and there are other versions available.
With the newest version my card was still slow, but trying the one before it is working normally again - at least on this boot, hopefully it will last ;D Now the next bit is write a Pacman hook or something that puts the right firmware in place on updates of the firmware package which is needed for other bits of hw, or just remember to do it manually. Also the sha256sum of the package firmware and the Intel firmware was different, despite the same file name, so it's worth a try even if it seems to be the same version that you already have. I should add I can easily play with the iwlwifi stuff, because I also have another non-Intel wireless adapter plugged in which uses a different driver and firmware. Well that seems to have fixed my Intel wifi, perhaps the same idea will help with yours? As for BIOS updates, the methods vary with what make and model you are updating, there are often ways to do it in Linux but not always. You have to look it up online. Sometimes you can put the BIOS update on a disk or USB or something, and it's loaded when you start the computer, so it makes no difference what OS you use.

For the wireless firmware, read the commands I used as a general guide, but be sure you understand what you are doing when you mv and cp. This command will tell you the info you need to identify your wireless card, and what firmware is currently in use: sudo lshw -C network Then go to the Intel website, I think the one applicable to you is the one for the 9461, 9462 and 9560: iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.618819.0.tgz
There's a bug report on a similar problem from last year here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1864188 (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1864188) There is a mention of firmware versions there, especially see the last post which might be helpful, although neither of those is the same as the Intel firmware, although a file of the same name as all 3 options is in the firmware package. Who knows what gets loaded as standard, use lshw to find out and try some stuff.

Yes, that's about what I got after I mv'ed all the iwlwifi stuff out of /lib/firmware, so no firmware at all was loaded. Try getting the Intel firmware, untar it (there are some instructions in the README in there with it too) then put the relevant file in /lib/firmware after temporarily mv'ing any other iwlwifi stuff to a backup location, so the driver has no choice what it loads (the driver chooses the first available on it's preference list) and reboot.

you can try add your fw (if you sure which fw exactly) to mkinitcpio to load this file before start boot.
add it in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf into section FILES:
FILES=(/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode) but i think according to some clues your fw is /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-38.ucode

ID says, your wifi card is Intel® Wireless-AC 9462 https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html say, it need this firmware: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.618819.0.tgz
can you please extract iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode from the tgz file an replace the another iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode file in /usr/lib/fimware?
after shut down your computer, wait, and start it again (cold reboot)

since your wifi doesn't work in other distributions either, as you said, so I see it more on the HW issue.
But i didnt touch HW

it can go wrong "by itself", you don't have to touch it. It is very very strange that the card does not work in other live ISOs. Feel free to try some more ISOs (different distributions)

And what im supposed to do if it does not work?

Get a new one, probably?
But make sure that it is a h/w failure first

My working Intel wifi stopped working properly again, regardless of firmware version. I think in my case the router and card agree a connection type and that's going wrong, then perhaps the router caches it or something, that's only a guess. But then I just found some ideas regarding iwlwifi module parameters, you can try these without rebooting, e.g. I did:
which has improved the connection speed again, although it's still slower than it should be. But anyway, there are lots of other parameters to try, and "modinfo iwlwifi" gives some more info to research. https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154333/how-to-see-driver-parameters (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/154333/how-to-see-driver-parameters) https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67267/iwlwifi-error-then-wlan-is-very-slow-and-cant-see-other-wlans (https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/67267/iwlwifi-error-then-wlan-is-very-slow-and-cant-see-other-wlans) The firmware not being loaded might need to be resolved before any module parameters are going to help though. So far as hardware issues go, I got a new intel card and changed mobo and it's made no difference. Also the other adapter I'm using wouldn't work unless I built a special driver from the makers for 3 or 4 years after I got it, the kernel one (in any distro I tried) was no good until it got fixed, it's worked fine since. I've not seen a confirmed wireless card hardware failure yet, so in my limited personal experience that's less likely. Also both newer hardware (like yours) and older hardware (like mine) tend to encounter more bugs. Difficult to prove though.
