Re: [SOLVED] Killer AX1650 Wireless Adapter Not Working on Linux 5.2.0

@tomberek
It was nvidia gpu. I had nvidia driver installed. On previous kernels modprobing nvidia modules would fail (I tried to run it with nvidia-xrun-git and failed), now the module can be loaded properly, but driver needs to be disabled from being loaded on boot. I followed https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … DIA_module and gave some additional tweaks (since I am using nvidia-xrun rather than bumblebee) and everything works now.

Re: [SOLVED] Killer AX1650 Wireless Adapter Not Working on Linux 5.2.0

Hey, @noxult, setting up NVIDIA Optimus was going to be my next major task. Based on your previous post, it looks like you've already conquered this topic. I've seen various different guides on the Arch Linux wiki and forums, but I would be very grateful for any help from another XPS 15 7590 user. Currently, I have the Intel and NVIDIA proprietary drivers installed, and it looks like the NVIDIA driver is loaded when I launch into GNOME. I also have GDM set to not use Wayland. So, I launch into GNOME on X. Which guide worked for you? I know this question is off-topic WRT this post. So, you can message me via the email form by my user name, if you prefer. Thanks for any help!

Re: [SOLVED] Killer AX1650 Wireless Adapter Not Working on Linux 5.2.0

Here's some good news! I updated my XPS 15 7590 to the latest kernel and firmware packages (linux 5.2.2.arch1-1 and linux-firmware 20190717.bf13a71-1), and the Killer AX1650 worked without any modifications! No need to remove firmware files or pull in iwlwifi backports. So, with this kernel and firmware combination, Killer AX1650 should work out of the box on a fresh install of Arch Linux.

https://git.archlinux.org/linux.git/com … e4a06c78a7 none upstream patch backported for 5.2 https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/63117
I can not see anything else networking related in the 5.2.2.arch1-1 kernel update or 20190717.bf13a71-1 firmware update.

Re: [SOLVED] Killer AX1650 Wireless Adapter Not Working on Linux 5.2.0

@rbrinson
In my case it was super simple. I just installed nvidia-xrun (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Nvidia-xrun) which have merged the nvidia-xrun-pm package so no need for using the AUR package, and wrote two scripts to enable/disable the discrete gpu ( following https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/De … DIA_module ) so that the discrete gpu can be modprobed by nvidia-xrun(since modprobing nvidia modules is what nvidia-xrun do) when enabled (which in fact is unblacklisted) and be kept away from draining power when not in use.
I am using i3wm, so whenever I need the nvidia gpu I would exit the window manager and run nvidia-xrun in the virtual console., which would launch a new X session. Not very convenient, but usable.

I can confirm too that kernel 5.2.2 + latest linux firmware (20190717.bf13a71-1) runs cc-a0-48.ucode without any issues.
