Hi all,
I have an Acer Aspire A315-58 laptop[0], which, according to lspci has the following intel wireless chip:
Device: 00:14.3
Class: Network controller [0280]
Vendor: Intel Corporation [8086]
Device: Wi-Fi 6 AX201 [a0f0]
SVendor: Intel Corporation [8086]
SDevice: Wi-Fi 6 AX201 [0244]
Rev: 20
ProgIf: 00
Driver: iwlwifi
Module: iwlwifi
However, in the kernel message buffer, the following message is written:
[ 3.633490] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX101, REV=0x351
Also, this chip did not work with the 6.3.3 Arch Linux kernel, the driver loaded the
`QuZ-a0-hr-b0-74.ucode` firmware:
[ 6.516505] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: WRT: Collecting data: ini trigger 13 fired (delay=0ms).
[ 6.517615] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Start IWL Error Log Dump:
[ 6.517616] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Transport status: 0x0000004A, valid: 6
[ 6.517617] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Loaded firmware version: 74.a5e9588b.0 QuZ-a0-hr-b0-74.ucode
[ 6.517619] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: 0x00000084 | NMI_INTERRUPT_UNKNOWN
...
[ 6.861510] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Failed to run INIT ucode: -110
I then noticed that firmwares 75-77 are available and that there were recent changes
to the iwlwifi module that increased IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MAX, so I gave it a go,
and built the kernel at ae8373a5add4ea39f032563cf12a02946d1e3546 and now firmware 77
is loaded, and that seems to work, at least I did not notice any issues so far.
The full logs and other information about the laptop can be found here[0].
