Missing iwlwifi ???? [SOLVED] Jan 11, 2024 23:28:27 GMT

Post by rexo on Jan 11, 2024 23:28:27 GMT

New to Bodhi and Ubuntu

Asus Z790 with WIFI

I just built this system and all seemed find until I noticed that the bluetooth was not working.

Pulseaudio and blueman are installed.

sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

It appears to be using iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode

But it doesn't appear to be in /lib/firmware

ls -al | grep iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55580 Dec 15 03:54 iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm

Should it not show up here if it is installed?

How do I get it there?

Is " api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver" a problem on it's own or a result of missing firmware?

Thanks

iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode ==> github.com/endlessm/linux-firmware/blob/master/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-66.ucode

Simply copy the Beginner.

Thanks makar0va for your amazing web search skills. Just incase that external link she posted dies, this is based on those in instructions. rexo let us know if this works for you, if not I'll update it for a newer version....

If you don't have wget already (won't hurt if you already have it):

sudo apt install wget
To download, extract, and install march 2023 version:

cd /tmp
wget https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/snapshot/linux-firmware-20230310.tar.gz 
tar -xzvf linux-firmware-20230310.tar.gz 
sudo mv linux-firmware-20230310/iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0-* /lib/firmware

Then reboot, or:

sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi

Hi,
Much thanks to makar0va and enigma9o7.
It works .... more

I was able to connect to a bluetooth radio.
I was able to connect to an old ipad.
When trying to connect to a wifi speaker it will show up in a search if I unplug / replug in the speaker. After a few moments it disappears.
Interesting connections do not show up in settings / bluetooth
In PulseAudio Preferences all of the selections are grayed out except for "Add a virtual output device..." At this point I'm now sure this is important.
Note both blueman and bluez are installed. Conflicting?

My bluetooth speaker now shows on a scan but fails the connection with "le-connection-abort-by local"
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi
[sudo] password for glb:

I am still getting the error but the firmware is fixed.

Settings is still showing "No Bluetooth Found plug in a dongle to use bluetooth"

Sorry if this is confusing. LOL I think I'm getting confused.

Thanks much for all your help.
