[Solved] iwlwifi failed to init (This error appears some times)

babaliaris · 2021-12-25 15:39:50

Sorry for the picture, I forgot to copy the text and I lost it after I rebooted and I can't find it again in journalctl using -b1, -b2, etc.

The errors are:

iwlwifi 0000:29:00.0: retry init count 0
iwlwifi 0000:29:00.0: retry init count 1
iwlwifi 0000:29:00.0: retry init count 2

The NetworkManager service is up and running. I don't get any errors or failed services with systemctl --failed.

When these errors appear, I can't connect to any WiFi (WiFi is disabled).

I have dual boot Arch Linux and Windows and it seems that if I reboot, then enter Windows and then reboot again and enter Arch Linux
it solves this problem (WiFi works) but I don't know if this is related in any way with the problem. I'm definetly sure that the clock on the bios
gets affected by the dual boot because Windows save the time in local time and Linux in UTC time so every time I must update the clock
through the internet.

Some specs of my computer:

Make sure fast boot in Windows is disabled: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … ibernation

As for the clock issue, configure Windows to also use UTC: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dual_b … e_standard

Thank you! I hope this solves the problem.

Solved. The problem was with the laptop itself...
