Intel wifi 6 AX210 driver issue

nr flag

My Intel Wifi 6 AX210 card is not detected on my fresh Ubuntu Mate installation.

Here is the dmesg output:

[    3.341328] iwlwifi 0000:92:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

My kernel version is:

Linux Precision-7560 5.11.0-27-generic #29~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Wed Aug 11 15:58:17 UTC 2021 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Any idea to correct this? Linux Kernel from 5.10 may support this Wifi card : https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/wireless.html

Thanks.

This is a well-known bug #212371

Let's try the suggested fix:

  1. Open a terminal by pressing Ctrl + Alt + T .

  2. Run the following command:

    sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm  /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak
    
  3. Reboot to reload the drivers.

EDIT: It appears that periodic updates to the package linux-firmware will install a new version of the offending file iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm and so this process will need to be repeated.

Good Luck!


Alternatively, installing a newer kernel will fix this issue. In the bug report, users have specifically mentioned kernel 5.16. Here are step by step instructions to install it.

  1. Change the working directory to ~/Downloads :

    cd ~/Downloads 
    
  2. Download the kernel's .deb files:

    wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.16/amd64/linux-headers-5.16.0-051600_5.16.0-051600.202201092355_all.deb
    wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.16/amd64/linux-headers-5.16.0-051600-generic_5.16.0-051600.202201092355_amd64.deb
    wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.16/amd64/linux-image-unsigned-5.16.0-051600-generic_5.16.0-051600.202201092355_amd64.deb
    wget -c https://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.16/amd64/linux-modules-5.16.0-051600-generic_5.16.0-051600.202201092355_amd64.deb
    
  3. Install the .deb files:

    sudo dpkg -i *.deb
    
  4. Satisfy the dependencies.

    sudo apt -f install
    

That's it!
Good Luck!

I've tried both solutions, neither work. I'm on Ubuntu 22.04 tried and reversed both the kernel update and the pnvm rename. Oddly if I unplug the USB_INT connection, WiFi works, but no Bluetooth. Plug USB_INT in, Bluetooth works, but not WiFi.

@Jim Unfortunately, this answer is specific to Ubuntu 20.04. I wouldn't recommend trying this on newer releases (I'll edit the answer to mention this detail). I'd recommend, you ask a new question Nd add all the necessary details.

@Error404 Yep, I recognize that - however it seemed like this was more of a kernel issue vs distribution version issue; so I thought worth a try.

Thanks for the fix. I have uploaded to 5.13 kernel and it works fine now.

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.
