Hi,
Having upgrade my system now to an Asus Rog
Crosshair VIII Dark
Hero motherboard with 802.11ax wifi which matches my
802.11ax wifi
router, an Nvidia RTX 3080 graphics card with 12GB
of memory, and AMD
Ryzen 9 5950x 16 core cpu, 64GB of 3600 memory,
liquid cooled cpu cooler
and 1000W power supply I have stopped running my
system in raid and
stopped running Fedora in a VM.
Having now directly installed Fedora 36 I have
both wifi and
ethernet configured in Networkmanager, with wifi
configured to
autoconnect and ethernet isn't, but when I start up
Fedora I have no
internet access as the only access Fedora sees is
ethernet which has to
be started manually to get internet access, and even
after activating
the ethernet interface Fedora still cannot see any
wifi nodes to connect
to. There isn't any issue with the wifi adapter as I
am using that quite
happily under windows.
What am I missing in the installation to get
wifi available?
You may have Intel AX200 wifi The Intel driver
is iwlwifi, and has to load
Is this a home build. Did you install an
antenna?
Thanks George. It is a home build and I have the external antenna
supplied with the motherboard installed.
Wifi is now working, after stopping ethernet from auto starting at
boot and rebooting for the 2nd time it is now working as I expected.
Dmesg should mention the wifi adapter, driver,
and whether the firmware was
loaded.
Dmesg is indicating that iwlwifi found Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX2000
160Mhz, REV=0x340. I can see a message about Intel(R) Wireless WiFi
driver for Linux but no indicatior as to what it's name is, and
there is a message about Direct firmware load for
iwlwifi-cc-a0-69.ucode failed with error -2. Then there is a message
api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver,
TLV_FW_FSEQ_VERSION: FSEQ Version: 89.3.35.37, and then a message
"loaded firmware version 68.01d30b0c.0 cc-a0-68.ucode op_mode
iwlmvm.
Use "iw list" to "List all wireless devices and
their capabilities."
Use "sudo lshw -class network" to see details of
the network hardware
(you may need "sudo dnf install lshw"). lshw
should show the model of
your card -- particularly now with component
shortages, vendors may sell
a given model wifi card with substitutions for
some components, so it could take
time for linux to get drivers for very new
hardware.
lshw is indicating the driver loaded for the wifi device is indeed
iwlwifi and that the firmware was
