I've installed arch a few times, but mainly use Ubuntu. I'm looking to make the switch permanently with my new machine. Ubuntu works out of the box. lspci, etc all show it as a 9560.
So, I've installed everything and it all seems to be working well, except wifi.
I have linux-firmware and have tried linux-firmware-git, but when I run: dmesg | grep 'iwlwifi' it returns that it's attempting to load: iwlwifi-Qu-xx-xx-xx, which is the incorrect driver for the 9560. This is the newer driver for the Intel AX200/WIFI 6 adapters.
How do I manually redirect it to the iwlwifi-9000-xx-xx-xx-xx/iwlwifi-9260-xx-xx-xx-xx drivers?
They are the correct drivers as seen here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/ … cfg/9000.c
relevant excerpt:
const struct iwl_cfg iwl9560_2ac_cfg = {
.name = "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 9560",
.fw_name_pre = IWL9260_FW_PRE,
IWL_DEVICE_9000,
};
const struct iwl_cfg iwl9560_2ac_160_cfg = {
.name = "Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz",
.fw_name_pre = IWL9260_FW_PRE,
IWL_DEVICE_9000,
};
const struct iwl_cfg iwl9560_2ac_cfg_soc = {
.name = "Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 9560",
.fw_name_pre = IWL9000_FW_PRE,
IWL_DEVICE_9000,
.integrated = true,
.soc_latency = 5000,
};
const struct iwl_cfg iwl9560_2ac_160_cfg_soc = {
.name = "Intel(R) Wireless-AC 9560 160MHz",
.fw_name_pre = IWL9000_FW_PRE,
IWL_DEVICE_9000,
.integrated = true,
.soc_latency = 5000,
I think part of the problem might be because I have an X1 Carbon Gen 7 with the 10th gen Intel chip, but a non-wifi 6 card. Afaik it's the only laptop that has 10th gen CPU with an older wifi adapter.
Not sure though.
Basically I'm trying to figure out how to change the iwlwifi module to look for and load the correct driver. I've tried moving the Qu (AX) drivers to see if it'd fallback on the correct driver, but it returns:
minimum version required: iwlwifi-Qu-b0-jf-b0-39
maximum version supported: iwlwifi-Qu-b0-jf-b0-50
Not sure why what is pointing to grab these drivers, but if I could find and change it, I'm thinking this will be an easy fix.
Thanks for your time.

Please post the output of the following:
dmesg
lspci -nnkOffline
Not sure why it detects 9462, ubuntu, Windows, arch live usb and manufacturer spec sheet all show 9560. Regardless it’s loading the wrong driver.
Ty for the help. I’ve sorted through all of the logs I could find already and it doesn’t even make an attempt at loading the correct driver but instead the AX series ones.

Please use code tags and do not paste images of text. In the following commit
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … d70e0dd269
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x02F0, 0x0030, iwl9560_2ac_160_cfg_quz_a0_jf_b0_soc)},is changed to
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x02F0, 0x0030, iwl9560_2ac_160_cfg_qu_b0_jf_b0)},Edit:

I normally would just copy paste and use code tags but I don’t have Internet on that device, so not sure of a better way to do that, as I wasn’t going to hand type all of that out.
In that bug report thread, someone with an x1c7 with 9560 said 5.4.x isn’t working but 5.3.x is.
AcidicX is having the same issue I am. lspci is seeing intel 9462 instead of 9560. It’s also attempting to load intel-Qu-xx-xx-xx drivers instead of intel-9000 series drivers.
I can attest to no issues under 5.3.13 as that’s what the live usb is running and it has no issues pairing the correct firmware and initializing the device upon boot.
Seems still no “true” fix yet. I’ll just install 5.3.13 and test.
Thank you for pointing me to that thread. I’ll keep up with it.

5.4 and iwlwifi have problems as mentioned in the other 5.4/iwlwifi threads and the above linked bug report, linux-zen 5.4 is the same way. use linux-lts for now

You could try 5.5.-rc1 or revert the commit I suggested or bisect 5.4 to 5.5 while waiting for a response to the opened upstream bug reports.

Okay, so I tried the LTS kernel and I get a different error now.
