[SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

I just got a new laptop with intel i5 13500H cpu for arch installation. However during the procedure I find the wireless module cannot be recognized by current linux kernel. The information is post below

# ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

# lspci -k (of network controller info)
0000:00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 51f1 (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Rivet Networks Device 1672
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi, wl

# lsmod | grep iwlwifi
iwlwifi               548864  0
cfg80211             1286144  2 wl,iwlwifi

# rfkill
ID TYPE      DEVICE              SOFT      HARD
 0 wlan      acer-wireless  unblocked unblocked
 1 bluetooth acer-bluetooth unblocked unblocked
 2 bluetooth hci0           unblocked unblocked

# dmesg (of iwlwifi info)
[   29.343682] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[   29.348772] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 51f1/1672, rev=0x370, rfid=0x2010d000
[   29.350404] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22

I guess the wireless module is wifi 6E series and driven by the same driver as AX1675i/s (AX211)s. The bug might be led by a upstream bug of kernel, I find a patcn here. However I have no idea on how to use this to modify the installation iso.

Currently, I use the windows installation and post the problem, while I can boot with archiso livecd to gather more information if anyone needs. I want to know how to submit this bug to upstream and when it will get fixed since the patch is published in April.

Thanks guys. If anything I described not clear or wrong or this should not be post here please let me know.

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

See Kernel#Compilation to build a kernel with the patch applied then Archiso#Custom_local_repository.
The ISO I generated with the patched kernel is linked below
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Psqzb- … share_link archlinux-2023.06.06-x86_64.iso

The patch comment [1] asked for it to be resubmitted with an adjusted title which it does not appear to have been so no further action was taken.

Thank you for the reply!

I have tried the iso you generated. During livecd the system successfully recognizes wlan0. The partial output of dmesg is listed

The ip link also shows wlan0 with state DOWN. The output message shows "WRT: Invalid buffer destination" seems some issues tho. However I think this would be easy to resolved. The patch seems necessary and indeed a solution to this issue. Can we do something help to make it work on current official iso and kernel?

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

I would start by seeing if you can get the interface to connect without further issues.
I do not know what the exact process is for getting a patch into the kernel that the original author has dropped.  I would start by trying to contact the original patches author and see if they have any plans to resend as that would be easiest.
If not someone else would need to send it.  Arch will not take the patch before at has been accepted into the kernel.

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

Thanks!

I complete the installation based on your ISO. As the officially distributed kernel is still original 6.3.6, I cannot use wifi after the installation.

So I recompiled the kernel with that patch and switched to the fixed kernel. Then the wifi works. Till now, I have not seen any issues on it, everything works fine.

I make some search on the internet and find recently this issue also bothers other users from different Linux distros like [1][2][3] . Maybe this patch is necessary as this hardware might get more popular?

Thanks for the help! I learnt a lot about kernel.

ps: If Arch does not apply this patch in the official package, does it mean I should recompile kernel by myself every time it updates? I find it really time consuming : (

Yes you will have to recompile the kernel on updates.  If the patch gets more popular perhaps that will increase the chances of someone submitting it upstream?

See https://github.com/archlinux/linux/commits/v6.3.6-arch1 where Arch is applying two commits that are not upstreamed,  one allows preventing unprivileged users to create namespaces and the second marks the release as -arch1.

Thanks!

I will contact to Yi Kuo via email with the link to this post. If he/she do not reply, I will try to contact to Gregory Greeman about this issue!

I will also mark this post [SOLVED]. I am appreciate for your help!

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

Do you guys still have a copy of the patched kernel? I am having the same issue and I've never patched or compile a kernel before.

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

The following step by step is based on Kernel/Arch_build_system it requires devtools in addition to base-devel and applies https://lore.kernel.org/linux-wireless/ … yikuo.dev/ to the current linux package,  I put the required changes in a diff and upload it to a pastebin,  which the step by step downloads and uses.
I recommend you enable Makepkg#Parallel_compilation before building the kernel.

$ pkgctl repo clone --protocol=https linux #obtain the PKGBUILD for linux
$ cd linux/
$ curl -o PKGBUILD.diff http://ix.io/4yuG # download diff of changes
$ git apply -v PKGBUILD.diff
$ makepkg -rsi # build package

Built package
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Xtb-nF … sp=sharing linux-6.3.8.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1C2xOM8 … sp=sharing linux-headers-6.3.8.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

@aemonge why do you believe it is the same issue;   when the output you posted does not contain:

Re: [SOLVED] kernel of version 6.3.5 cannot recognize intel wireless card

Hey @loqs, you're completely right. This issue is not the same

I've ended up in this forum, looking for answers to my issue, and didn't read comprehensively. Sorry about that.
