Hi,
I recently acquired a laptop with the Killer wireless-AC 1550i adapter (9560NGW) which is not recognized yet using 4.16.5-1 from core/linux
Its ucode is in stable linux-firmware (/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-9000-pu-b0-jf-b0-34.ucode) so it was something else.
Thanks to this post from manjaro there is a solution https://forum.manjaro.org/t/solved-kill … k/46167/16
especially this commit https://raw.githubusercontent.com/manja … 1550.patch
I've then followed this guide https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ild_System, added the patch from the commit above as is to PKGBUILD (2 lines to add, 1 for array and 1 for patch) and ran
makepkg -s --skipchecksums --skippgpcheck
(It was lazy not to add the keys - but keys should be added locally and checks not skipped https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Gn … public_key)
finally
grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
At the next reboot I could see this new wlo1 interface which I 'm using now to post.
$ iw dev

In hope it helps

You could open a feature request on the arch bug tracker asking for https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 366cd23b9f to be applied

patching 4.17 trunk with the patch in this post got my Killer Wireless AC 1550 (9560NGW) working with iwlwifi ucode v.38 on new laptop. thanks for the steer! many new laptops hit the market at end of may with this hardware - i would second incorporating the kernel patch into the core/linux PKGBUILD as a feature request until intel get it into upstream.

I emailed Intel about these new devices back in March, glad it helped someone
