High Hi, thanks reporting this. I carefully read your bug report. I found a potential culprit: iwlwifi-firmware-20201230-2.mga8.nonfree <=== This is an outdated version. On my system: $ rpm -qa --last | grep iwlwifi iwlwifi-firmware-20210310-1.mga8.nonfree.noarch installed on Thu Mar 11 09:13:23 2021 So, I don't understand why such difference on 2 mga8 systems. Does core/updates repo enabled and nonfree/updates ? Make sure both repositories are enabled, also, try to switch to a fully updated mirror next you after seen https://mirrors.mageia.org/status and choose a strong green mirror with drakrpm-edit-media. Finally, do as root urpmi --auto-update CC:

Thank you for the hint; I have updated the package: $ rpm -qa --last | grep iwlwifi iwlwifi-firmware-20210310-1.mga8.nonfree.noarch Fri 12 Mar 2021 09:23:12 AM SO I suppose, I got the latest one now. After reboot I still have the same problem. The card does not figure in the system! I downgraded again to version iwlwifi-firmware-20201230-2.mga8 $ rpm -qa --last | grep iwlwifi iwlwifi-firmware-20201230-2.mga8.nonfree.noarch Fri 12 Mar 2021 09:34:09 AM After reboot, the card is working again :)) Weird, But I am going to keep checking newer versions of this package.

dmesg on the non-working boot

One thing comes to mind... this has sometimes been an issue... dirt... if you remove the card, and clean the connectors and reinstall the card, does it work better ? I installed the card more than a month ago and never disassembelled the laptop again. (I do not wish to do it actually :) ) But since it works with the older release of the package and on Windows, I cannot assume that there is a dirt issue now. How probable is that? If you think it could be the issue, I'll try to disassemble the laptop tonight. an other thing you could test first... if there is any "wake on lan" or "wake on wlan" in bios, try to disable it. It could be the bit preventing it to power down completely / properly reset itself... and as I pointed out in comment 8, it's the _same_ firmware both when it works and when it fails... as for "working on windows" the bios is built for windows support, and the windows drivers might have more Intel "quirks/workarounds" builtin than has been applied to linus kernels yet... The only option in the BIOS related to wireless is lock/unlock it. When locked, the operating system does not see the card. looks like it happends for some users on other distros too... let's see if Intel guys can figure this one out See Also:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212371 Today at the end I could reinstall it. SO I can confirm that it is not related to dirt or anything like that. It is simply strange that the newer version would not work and the older one only loads after rebooting Windows first due to bluetooth, as far a I can see. Hopefully Intel shall solve it soon. if you remove this file: /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm and reboot... does it work then ? (In reply to Thomas Backlund from comment #15) > if you remove this file: > > /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm > > and reboot... does it work then ? Well yes :) Brilliant, thanks :) Still, however, I need to boot windows first then reboot Mageia. Otherwise the bluetooth problem will make the boot process impossible. Might be good news; The 21.04 Ubuntu family running kernel 5.11 recognises the card correctly. WIFI and BT are working perfectly. Might be a good sign for the next kernel update in Mageia. :) |
Hi; Updating my Mageia 8 Plasma 64-bit this morning, got me iwlwifi-firmware-20201230-2.mga8.nonfree installed. I had to reboot for systemd update too. After rebooting the card is not shown in the system at all. the ip command shows this: # ip -c l 1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00 2: enp3s0f1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 9c:5c:8e:17:3d:6e brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff 3: virbr0: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc noqueue state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000 link/ether 52:54:00:a5:89:c0 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff The lspci command with respect to this card is: # lspci | grep 2725 02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 2725 (rev 1a) Hope to find a solution soon :)
