[SOLVED]Help with WIFI, got to modprobe every power on, Lenovo, Mint 19.2

Post by amrivas »

I am trying Mint 19.2; I have a lenovo 2-1 Flex 6-14ARR ryzen 3 2200U. So far I got the video amdgpu pro installed, backlight issue with it, but its a matter of research or test.

My main issue its the WIFI, I got it installed, it works and even the bluetooth works, but every time I turn on the laptop its disabled and I have to do a

Code: Select all

sudo modprobe -r ideapad_laptop
to enable it

Its there a way to make it permanent? I even did the solution tomas pinho put in his github driver about the pcie

PCIe Activate State Power Management

Your distribution may come with PCIe Active State Power Management enabled by default. That may conflict with this driver. To disable:

sudo $EDITOR /etc/default/grub

Add pci=noaer at the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. Line should look like this:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash pci=noaer"

Then update your GRUB configuration:

sudo update-grub

Reboot.
