(solved) Febsmart Wifi 6 PCIE (ax200) with NGW (AX3000/Bluetooth)

[sleeper12]

I don't think it will help, but try:

Code: Select all

 sudo modprobe iwlwifi 

[Rocherd]

no return was given in terminal, is it suppose to do that?

anyhow installed git, to give this a shot

Code: Select all

git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git

sed: couldn't edit .config: not a regular file
make -j4
make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found.  Stop.

soo with all those problems no point in doing make install

I still suspect you need a newer kernel than offered in LMDE. But, maybe something here will work for you:

I saw that too, ive got to figureout how to get the 5.10 kernel backport working. its not apparently as easy as installing it, because i end up with a typable blackscreen.

Something else to try:

Code: Select all

 sudo apt install --reinstall firmware-iwlwifi 

Code: Select all

 sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi 

Reboot

[Rocherd]

Code: Select all

E: Unable to locate package firmware-iwlwifI

sooo.... im going to do it via synapic

[Rocherd]

no luck

I'm in a live session of LMDE4 & I see firmware-iwlwifi is preinstalled. Guess it does no good though.

Is there a wifi driver in Driver Manager you can install?

For future reference: LMDE does not have Driver Manager.

no i chose ldme4 because i really got tired of canonical, so direct builds of ubuntu really arent my thing. it says in the user manual 4.1+ kernel.

What user manual are you referencing?

With the AMD Ryzen 7 3700X, I would recommend using at least the 5.8 kernel. I know others with LMDE have been able to use buster backports to get something much newer than the 4.19 which comes with LMDE. I do not have LMDE, but I'll see if I can find information.

I seem to recall that updates to the iwlwifi driver in the linux firmware a while back for the AX3000. But I have the 5.4 kernel, so I do not know if it was available for older kernels.

I do not know if this LMDE Tutorial [HowTo] Install the latest Linux Kernel, might help.

Good find, maybe a newer kernel will solve this.

as has what user manual i was refering to wireless card user manual.

Same blackscreen typable (non terminal?, as man, help, exit, reboot typed commands dont work, only ctrl+alt+del)

That might be an issue with the newer kernel and its version of nouveau not working well the older Mesa version in LMDE. It's not just the kernel which is older with LMDE, but also all the other software installed.

The information I found online indicates the kernel version for AX200 must be 5.1 or higher Intel WiFi 6 AX200 not working on Ubuntu 16.04 and not 4.1 or higher.

I do not know if the firmware listed Intel: Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters will be of help.

[Rocherd]

ookay, soo what do i do?

[sleeper12]

Maybe get a usb wifi adapter that works on LMDE, if there are any.

[Rocherd]

off to majaro xfce.

[SMG]

off to majaro xfce.

That will have a much newer kernel, so I expect that will work.

[sleeper12]

off to majaro xfce.

Yep, that's another option. Let us know if it works or not.
