[Solved] Upgrade from linux 6.1.12 to 6.2.1 breaks wifi

scott_fakename · 2023-03-02 07:14:24

When I have linux package 6.1.12-arch1-1 installed, i see t he following:

$ uname -r
6.1.12-arch1-1
$ sudo rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE      SOFT      HARD
 0 bluetooth hci0   unblocked unblocked
 1 wlan      phy0   unblocked unblocked
$ sudo lscpi -k
# ... snip ...
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi
# ... snip ...

However, when I upgrade to 6.2.1, rfkill shows wlan as hard blocked and lspci -k does not show the wireless adapter at all.

Is there a kernel module I need instead?

There's probably some error message in the system journal/dmesg
Also check whether the pci id shows up at all.

scott_fakename · 2023-03-03 05:05:56

I was wrong, it does still see it in lspci:

02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

I didn't see much in dmesg:

It's reporting it's off, but in 6.1.12 it's on. There's no hardware switch, but there is a fn+f8 i can press but that only changes soft block in rfkill.

Please post your complete system journal for such boot, eg.

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

if the previous boot ("-1") was on the 6.2 kernel

Sanity check: if there'S a parallel windows, see the 3rd link below.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

multiverse · 2023-03-03 10:53:35

I have the same problem. Downgrading to linux 6.1.12 makes it working again.

Here you can find my system journal when booting with kernel 6.2.1.

Different chip, see https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p2087730

scott_fakename · 2023-03-04 04:50:59

I don't see much sadly, but then again i don't really know what i'm looking for; here's the journalctl log of the 6.2.2 kernel. http://0x0.st/HzJW.txt

seth · 2023-03-04 07:34:40

There's no carrier providing service, but you're running dhcpcd on wlan0 - are you using iwd?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Iwd#Re … after_boot

scott_fakename · 2023-03-04 16:56:16

hmm, no i'm not using iwd. Also it works on 6.1 and before, but not 6.2 and up, so I'm suspecting it's more of a kernel thing. But, i just don't know how to debug that.

seth · 2023-03-04 17:07:07

What's supposed to provide the carrier then?
Why is the wifi nic "wlan0" but the wired nic "enp0s31f6" (installing iwd would cause this, because it doesn't work w/ systemd's "predictable" interfaces because they're not)

"Kernel thing" or not, there's not even an effort being made at using the NIC.
Please post the output of

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

scott_fakename · 2023-03-04 19:03:37

I don't know what you mean by carrier but i am using netctl for setting up network connections, if that helps.

loqs · 2023-03-04 19:18:56

No netctl in the list of manually enabled services. How do you start netctl?

seth · 2023-03-04 19:41:04

Perhaps manually, but you should™ not have dhcpcd enabled in that case either.

Though w/o userspace interference, there's no good explanation for a hard rfkill
Please post a journal from a boot w/ 6.1.12 for contrast.

I don't know what you mean by carrier

"wifi-cable"

scott_fakename · 2023-03-04 19:45:41

I have a script that calls it; here's a log of netctl@Home, and then a full journalctl http://0x0.st/Hzxl.txt

haha whoops http://0x0.st/Hz3Y.txt

seth · 2023-03-05 08:44:33

The only (mildly) related thing I see is that the good boot has iwlwifi loaded before "Listening on Load/Save RF Kill Switch Status /dev/rfkill Watch." and the bad boot afterwards.
Could be a fluke, though.
=> For a test, add iwlwifi to the initramfs modules

scott_fakename · 2023-03-06 02:17:06

That time it didn't detect the chip at all http://0x0.st/Hz0R.txt

rfkill showed only bluetooth, but not wlan0 or any other wireless adapter.

seth · 2023-03-06 08:11:36

So let's race the other way.
Remove iwlwifi from the initramfs, https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel … probe.d/_2 it and load it explicitly somewhen later.

(You can also just try to reload the module after the boot)

scott_fakename · 2023-03-07 04:07:00

i had to blacklist cfg80211 and iwlwifi and once i loaded them, back to the same issue with rfkill showing it hard blocked.

At this point the only explanation I've left is an actual regression in the directly related code, https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commi … 1bec41d13f might be relevant, but obviously one would expect some more instances of the problem…

Though I think we skipped

No, I'm single booting just arch, I've never run Linux on this machine.

> might be relevant, but obviously one would expect some more instances of the problem…

Maybe they can't get online to report it (just kidding)

seth · 2023-03-07 16:28:54

Is there a BIOS/UEFI update available for the system?

scott_fakename · 2023-03-08 06:28:41

Oh, awesome, I updated the firmware using `fwupd` and now it's working!

Thank you so much for your help tracking this down!

chrisco23 · 2023-03-13 14:28:30

Can you please elaborate a bit?

I'm unable to update my XPS as it breaks my wifi. I was fine at 6.2.2 but 6.2.5 broke things and by reverting I'm stuck somehow at 6.1.12.

Mine is Dell XPS 15 9550, and it is still set to dual boot Windows 7 but I've pretty well left that side of it alone for a few years.
