Hello,
I'm running a Thinkpad T480, lspci reports
03:00.0 0280: 8086:24fd (rev 78)
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8265 [Windstorm Peak]
Using 6.8 kernels, everything is fine (the first kernel I ever used on
this machine was 6.8.1 from openSUSE Tumbleweed).
Since 6.9-rc1 (using precompiled SUSE Kernel-of-the-day), wireless just
does not work.
Nothing suspicious in dmesg, NetworkManager does nothing and a manual
mixi:~ # ip link set up dev wlp3s0
RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument
The only thing I could think of was rfkill, but it looks good to me:
mixi:~ # rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 bluetooth tpacpi_bluetooth_sw blocked unblocked
1 wlan phy0 unblocked unblocked
Rebooting into 6.8 makes everything work again.
I have absolutely no idea where to start debugging :-)
These are all the releated dmesg entries I could find (from 6.8, but
there is no difference to 6.9-rc4):
