[solved] Killer wireless-AC 1550i 9650NGW device on 4.16.5-1

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
phy#0
	Unnamed/non-netdev interface
		wdev 0x2
		addr 00:e1:8c:bb:cc:dd
		type P2P-device
		txpower 0.00 dBm
	Interface wlo1
		ifindex 3
		wdev 0x1
		addr 00:e1:8c:aa:bb:cc
		ssid xxxxx
		type managed
		channel 7 (2442 MHz), width: 20 MHz, center1: 2442 MHz
		txpower 22.00 dBm
$ uname -a
Linux sun 4.16.6-1-custom #2 SMP PREEMPT Wed May 2 20:03:12 CEST 2018 x86_64 GNU/Linux
$

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
