iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev

As I mentioned here my wireless connection is not working. After making some changes to the firmware according to the support of some community members I ended up with the following output:

sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi outputs:

[    3.373741] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    3.381121] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 02f0/0000, rev=0x354, rfid=0x0
[    3.381223] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22

I noticed that the last numbers of the Subsystem entry changed according to the last time I ran lspci -kvnn | sed -n '/Network/,/^$/ p'. It now returns

00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9462 [8086:02f0]
    DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wireless-AC 9462 [8086:0000]
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
    Memory at c431c000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel modules: iwlwifi

Does anybody have a clue how I could proceed to get wireless connection again? I would also be willing to format my the whole system if necessary. However as I tried installing an 18.04 Ubuntu version alongside my 20.04 one already without any improvement I'm not sure if that helps...

Edit 2 (replying to @chili555)

It is not a dual boot. Only systems installed are Ubuntu.

You assumed the kernel version correctly. uname -r outputs 5.14.14-051414-generic

dmesg | grep iwl outputs:

[    2.794034] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    2.797944] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 02f0/0000, rev=0x354, rfid=0x0
[    2.798042] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22

I removed backport from dkms tree using sudo dkms remove backport-iwlwifi/8324 --all

dkms status now returns

virtualbox, 6.1.26, 5.11.0-38-generic, x86_64: installed

Edit 3 (replying to @chili555)

Testing with kernel version 5.4.0-89-generic

dmesg | grep iwl does not return anything...

dkms status returns

Have you tried to install `backport-iwlwifi-dkms` ?

angelogro

2/26/23, 7:29 PM

@nobody It is installed (output: `backport-iwlwifi-dkms is already the newest version (8324-0ubuntu3~20.04.4)`) but I am not sure if it is 'active'. Do you know how to make sure the system is trying to 'use' it? To be honest: as I tried several approaches to solve the problem, I feel everything is tidy and I wonder if I can clean up or reset everything I installed during the last two days. Any idea on how to approach this?

nobody

2/26/23, 8:29 PM

are you sure it is not a hardware issue? `dkms status` and `uname -r` please. Also `rfkill list` and `grep -i error /var/log/kern.log`

`backport-iwlwifi`is not korrekt installed. It is added to dkms tree but not build nor installed in any kernel of yours. the firmwares that are not found are in package `linux-firmware` In my opinion the module iwlwifi crashes, because it 'thinks' somethiing wrong with the intel-microcode. but my knowledge for this is really restricted.I'm sorry maybe someone other can superiorly help than me.

`dkms install backport-iwlwifi/8324 -k 5.14.14-051414-generic` returns `Error! The /var/lib/dkms/backport-iwlwifi/8324/5.14.14-051414-generic/x86_64/dkms.conf for module backport-iwlwifi includes a BUILD_EXCLUSIVE directive which does not match this kernel/arch. This indicates that it should not be built.` @nobody Thank you anyway.

I don't believe that backport installs correctly for any kernel version above 5.4. I suggest that you remove it. Reboot into, I assume, kernel version 5.14.14 and show me: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` If this is a dual boot with Windows, please disable Fast Boot.

@chili555 I updated the question (see **Edit 2**).

angelogro

@chili555 `sudo modprobe iwlwifi && sudo dmesg | grep iwl` returns no output.

Have you an older bionic iso for a live session? for testing?

angelogro

2/28/23, 11:32 AM

@chili555 Maybe this line `i915 0000:00:02.0: [drm] *ERROR* Atomic update failure on pipe A (start=54947 end=54948) time 185 us, min 1073, max 1079, scanline start 1069, end 1080` of the error log might be interesting. It occurred ~3 hours before the iwlwifi driver first's error occurred. Just to remind you: Up until 4 days ago I never had (visible) problems with my wifi.

If you interrupt the boot process at the GRUB menu and boot into the earliest kernel version that you have, does the problem remain? Perhaps it is 5.14.14 that is the issue.

chili555

2/28/23, 2:40 PM

"dmesg | grep iwl does not return anything..." How about: `sudo modprobe iwlwifi && sudo dmesg | grep iwl` Modprobe may produce an error that leads us to the solution.

angelogro

2/28/23, 3:46 PM

@chili555 I will try it. However, have in mind that I only installed 5.14.14 in the process of tackling the problem with the `iwlwifi`.

Are you still working to solve this problem? I have a new idea (udev rule) and need a tester! Please reply.

maybe he is not but I would have the exact same problem if there is still need for a tester ;)

@relief.melone Please start a new question. I’ll be happy to help.

Thank you for the quick reply. I was able to sort it out by updating kernel from 5.15-5.19.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
