WiFi adapter not found on NVIDIA Jetson Orin NX running Ubuntu 20.04

rw flag

My Jetson embedded device has a WLAN SMA-RP Antenna supported by a network controller (Intel AX210) as specified by the manufacturer.

The network controller shown using the command lspci is Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 2725 (rev 1a). Seems like lsusb can also identify this interface as 8087:0032 Intel Corp.

I do not see a wlan or similar interface in my network interfaces using ifconfig (I only see lan1, lan2, lo, rndiso0, usb0). The network manager is not able to find any Wi-Fi device: sudo nmcli device wifi rescan returns: Error: No Wi-Fi device found. Trying to connect to any Wi-Fi network produces the same output, and sudo nmcli device wifi list and sudo modprobe iwlwifi both return nothing.

Executing sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi seems like it detects the Wi-Fi modem:

From the desktop GUI I am getting a "No Wi-Fi adapter found, make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on" in the Wi-Fi settings.

Is there some manual configuration I have to do to set up my Wi-Fi interface?

Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal commands: `sudo modprobe iwlwifi` and also: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Does this answer your question? [My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue?](https://askubuntu.com/questions/425155/my-wireless-wifi-connection-does-not-work-what-information-is-needed-to-diagnos)

It seems to work when I remove my wifi kernel driver (iwlwifi) .pnvm file (see Is there any permanent fix for no wifi with iwlwifi other than removing the .pnvm file?). Converting it to a backup file did the trick:

sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bck

It seems that you do not have the latest firmware packages. With a working internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, do:

cd /lib/firmware
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-72.ucode
sudo wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/plain/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode

Reboot and let us see a new version of sudo dmesg | grep iwl.

Does not seem to solve it, dmesg output is the same.

May I please take a look? Please run: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` and: `ls -al /lib/firmware | grep ty-a0-gf-a0` Paste the result here and give us the link: http://paste.ubuntu.com

Is this a dual boot with Widows? https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#about_dual-boot_with_windows_and_fast-boot_enabled

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.
