Re: [Solved] Upgrade from linux 6.1.12 to 6.2.1 breaks wifi

Win7 did not yet have the misleading "fast start" feature and the OP apparently solved the problem by updating the BIOS/UEFI w/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Fwupd

Edit, @loqs, does https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=284254 also affect iwlwifi?
@chrisco23,

Re: [Solved] Upgrade from linux 6.1.12 to 6.2.1 breaks wifi

Thanks for the replies.  I'm just very wary of getting in over my head with these things and don't want to get locked out of wifi yet this morning.

I went into the fwupd route, total news to me still trying to grok, currently I'm going to hold off for a minute until I better understand this situation:

fwupdmgr update

See https://github.com/fwupd/fwupd/wiki/PluginFlag:capsules-unsupported for more information.
WARNING: UEFI firmware can not be updated in legacy BIOS mode

Re: [Solved] Upgrade from linux 6.1.12 to 6.2.1 breaks wifi

If that is any indication, do you actually have a broadcom wifi chip? In which case you should look at the thread - and the kernel - loqs linked and install/try that.

This is broadcom yes, follow loqs link, install the patched kernel or wait a few hours/days for 6.2.6 to hit stable (... or grab the updated linux and linux-headers from testing)

Re: [Solved] Upgrade from linux 6.1.12 to 6.2.1 breaks wifi

ok.  thanks again.  Think it's still best I not dig deeper since it sounds likely that holding off the upgrade is gonna be best for me for the moment.
