[SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

After recent (since 9.7.2014) updates, the WLAN link stopped working for me - and I don't seem to be find a way to restore it. Thus, your wisdom is appreciated:

Setup/Background
- Device: Zotac ZBox IQ (http://www.zotac.com/products/mini-pcs/ … nt/10.html)
- Network device (2xGLAN): Realtek  RTL8111/8168/8411 (kernel module r8169 loads)
- Wifi (device missing, used to work as enp3s0 ??), should be intel chipset
- Wired connection works
- NetworkManager is in use
- Dmesg error: enp3s0 link is not ready

Tried so far

- Tested with older kernel 3.14.x -- no change
- Tested with kernel-lts -- no change
- Tested with older networkmanager -- no change
- Tested with fresh Arch media (latest.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tested with older Arch media (1.4.2014.iso) -- device cannot be found
- Tried bringing up the link with command: ip link set dev enp3s0 up -- no change, no error
- Unloading r8169 removes the wired connection in networkmanager but not wireless, is that normal?
- Noticed also this link (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … OL_problem), but setup has no Windows

Any pointers? Had a similar problem sometime in the past (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=177793 -- different device), and then after some time and upgrades it just started working again.


Thanks in advance,
Juha

[EDIT 14.7]
Removed misleading reference: Noticed this post (https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=183601) and changed name in udev rules: enp03s0 -> wlp03s0 -- no change

[EDIT 16.7]
Added some details seen also later in thread

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

Same issue here, after some updates yesterday wlan0 won't load.

up link set wlan0 up

Gives: Operation not possible due to RF-kill

dmesg | grep wlan0

Gives: Link not ready

RE name change: that makes no sense.  That does not come from the thread linked, and renaming a wired interface to something that looks like a wireless interface is a horrible idea.  Please undo that first. (and/or help me understand why that step was taken).

For the module, that sounds reasonable if that is the ethernet driver module.  What drivers do you use for the wireless card?  What is the wireless card?  Ethernet and wireless are separate devices and (at least almost always) will have separate drivers.

How is that the same issue?  It sounds like a totally different issue.  It is an issue with directions to a solution provided: check RF-Kill, then if that doesn't work and there isn't some more clear reason to link it to the OPs issue, start your own thread rather than trying to hijack someone else's.

(edit: oops - I quoted myself rather than editing - fixed that, I hope)

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

First of all, thanks for the replies. Here's mine:

ip link (enp2s0 is wired connection, wlp3s0 is wlan):

23:29:46 juha@zbox ~ ip link                                                                                        1 ↵

dmesg | grep link

[  422.338246] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp2s0: link becomes ready

I also just tried using Connman instead of NetworkManager, just to verify the problem is not in NM. Outcome: The wired connection works, but wireless does not exist:

23:27:23 juha@zbox ~ connmanctl technologies
/net/connman/technology/ethernet
  Name = Wired
  Type = ethernet
  Powered = True
  Connected = True
  Tethering = False
/net/connman/technology/bluetooth
  Name = Bluetooth
  Type = bluetooth
  Powered = False
  Connected = False
  Tethering = False

@Trilby: No real reason for the name change - just picked up it from the referenced post (you know how desperate one can get just to fix the issue smile ). I'll remove the renaming.

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

I don't know about the history of your machine, but right now your wireless interface is called wlp3s0.
Try the command sudo iw wlp3s0 scan
You should see a site survey that includes your access point.  If that works, then we can move forward.

Edit:  If things have changed names from what they have been in the past, is it possible you have added or rearranged hardware in your system?

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

I had interface renamed with rule - but now it is disabled and interface name is again enp3s0:

23:56:52 root@zbox juha cat /etc/udev/rules.d/10-network.rules 
#SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", ATTR{address}=="00:01:2e:4f:71:a5", NAME="wlp3s0"

    link/ether 00:01:2e:4f:71:a5 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I tried iw scanning but it does not find the device:

23:57:31 root@zbox juha iw enp3s0 scan
command failed: No such device (-19)

0:00:19 root@zbox juha iw list
(empty output)

And as for the issue background - the usual story: No changes in HW or BIOS, just SW updates as they flow (I tend to run them daily bases). It was 9th or 10th of July when I rebooted my computer just to find out the wireless no longer works.

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

Well, I guess I can't help if you won't try the command I provided.

But ask yourself, why is there a conflict between the ip link command output versus the ip addr output in terms of device names?

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

Jmu, I think you are assuming we know all about your machine and it's history.  We don't.  You're using two naming schemes interchangeably, and they're both odd.  Again, the thread you linked to says absolutely nothing about manually renaming that interface.  It does indicate that with *that* driver, the wireless interface used to show up as if it were ethernet (e.g. en* naming), but with an up to date system it will not show up properly as a w*.  This does not say you should rename it - it says if your system is up-to-date, the driver will properly name it.

So either you are not actually using that driver (which still isn't clear) or your system is not up to date ... or perhaps you are up to date, and you are using that driver, and that post is just wrong.  But I can't tell.

Don't make us guess and assume.  Tell us what wireless hardware you have (you've told us about your ethernet hardware, but that isn't relevant - what's the wireless card).  Tell us what driver it is using, tell us what names it used to have and when it last worked ... tell us anything that can help us understand your process.

Eh ... removing information - even if it lead you down the wrong path - isn't the solution.  The solution is providing information.  But if you don't want to do that, no one will be able to help you.  Good luck.

Look, I'm trying to provide the info as much as getting the issue fixed (and hopefully also someone else having the issue). Are there any questions that I have not answered (that I'm capable of answering to)?

As for the removing, I put the link in [edited] section so that I would not cause any misleading references.

I'd also point out that at this point the interface renaming is removed as suggested, but still the outcome is the same:

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

The information that is needed is primarily about your hardware and the drivers you have been (trying) to use and whether your system is up to date.  This last post is part of what is needed.  Arch users are expected to be able to look through the wiki and figure out how to gather some of their own information - this is also addressed in the link in ewaller's signature which is worth a read.  But to be fair I might be a little short tempered tonight.  I got a urgent call to help a dog-sitter who was taking care of a friends dog ... They've been doing a horrible job, the dog and it's living area where smeared in poop, and I had to restrain the dog to remove a tick ... then she crapped all over me.  I ended up having to drive home covered in crap, clean myself, clean my clothes, and clean my truck.  So suffice it to say it was a 'shitty' day.

Anyhow - That lspci output indicates you have two ethernet cards, but suggests there is no wireless hardware.  The command itself would provided *a lot* more output than that, so I assume you have filtered what you thought would be relevant.  But are you sure you filtered correctly.  The following version will help - post all the output from this one:

lspci -vnn | grep -i net

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

I'm puzzled - seems that wireless device has disappeared altogether (after trying various approaches unsuccessfully, I'm considering buying USB-WLAN dongle sad )

But here are my latest findings (and some answers):

  • Zotac IQ01 indeed has two network adapters, which explains the enp2s0 and enp3s0 links (both of them are working when the cable is plugged in)

  • Seems that WiFi is actually provided by Intel chip instead of Realtek. iwlwifi is not loaded by default, but loading it manually does not make any difference, either

  • A reference (http://superuser.com/questions/50735/zo … ux-support) suggested that WiFi module connects the board via USB header. While there are some Intel devices listed, non of them seem Wireless devices.

  • Since WLAN used to work, I've tried with alternative media (loading from USB stick): Arch 1.4.2014 (kernel 3.13), Arch latest (3.15), Ubuntu 14.4 LTS (kernel 3.13) as well as couple of different kernel versions. None of them shows the wireless device

  • There is no way to disable wireless in BIOS, only GLAN cards. I also reset the BIOS settings just to make sure

However, as mentioned, WLAN used to work and it's device name matched with enp3s0 (I don't there there ever has been 4 links (including loopback)). But I can't seem to be able to reproduce the success sad Still there are resources claiming that it works out-of-the-box: https://wiki.debian.org/InstallingDebia … ox/squeeze

Now for the responses (thanks for them!):

@evaller:

lspci -vnn | grep -i net

and yes, dev -parameter can be omitted with iw command when there are devices available (it seems).

The difference between link names can be explained with udev rule I added and then removed (albeit I don't know if it explains the DYNAMIC keyword?

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

Okay, things are starting to make a little sense.
Lets see the output of lspci -nn    (The version you provided had been filtered for lines containing 'net',  I would like the unfiltered list)
Also, if you could post the output of pacman -Qs firmware

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

As it happens, I was also looking at the firmware versions. So here it goes:

lspci -nn

03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 07)
pacman -Qs firmware
local/linux-firmware 20140603.a4f3bc0-1
    Firmware files for Linux

Now, I've come to a conclusion the required firmware is intel 3160 (name was listed in provided windows -only driver resource). Based on that, I end up looking at these:

Here's the list of 3160 firmwares:

ls -l /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 670484 Jun 12 20:31 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-7.ucode
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 667284 Jun 12 20:31 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-8.ucode
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 666792 Jun 12 20:31 /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-3160-9.ucode

And then:

sudo modinfo iwlwifi | grep firmware
[sudo] password for juha: 
firmware:       iwlwifi-100-5.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-1000-5.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-135-6.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-105-6.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-2030-6.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-2000-6.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-5000-5.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-6000g2b-6.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-6050-5.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-3160-7.ucode
firmware:       iwlwifi-7260-7.ucode
parm:           fw_restart:restart firmware in case of error (default true) (bool)

According to this ticket comment the .9 should be in use though? https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73441#c1

Re: [SOLVED: HW ISSUE] WLAN no longer works (Zotac IQ01 / r8169 / iwlwifi)

...
    |__ Port 7: Dev 4, If 0, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 12M
    |__ Port 7: Dev 4, If 1, Class=Wireless, Driver=btusb, 12M

Isn't that it?  So this wouldn't be expected to show up in lspci.  I don't know as much about getting usb interface data, but `lsusb -v` will provide more detail on those two entries.

EDIT: btusb ... yeah, sorry I missed that.  I don't have any bt devices.
