Description Marc Krämer 2018-06-06 14:23:18 CEST

After update to iwlwifi-firmware-20180518-1.mga6.nonfree.noarch wlan is unable to connect.
With downgrading to iwlwifi-firmware-20180211-1.mga6.nonfree.noarch everything is fine again.

With the 20180518 I get this log:

Did you check rfkill status?

sudo rfkill list

Can you attach full dmesg from boot with both old and new iwlwifi-firmware package

Sorry, it looks like the newer kernel fixed that issue.
Thanks for your help.
