Hello list,
I want to move my Intel i5 NUC box to a place where Ethernet is not available,
nor like to become so. That means I have to get WiFi working, but I've had no
success so far. The wiki pages are many, confusing and contradictory, so I'd
like the panel's advice on the way to proceed.
The first thing I tried was the traditional wpa_supplicant, which seemed to go
well - except that I couldn't get the link out of the DOWN state.
Then I tried NetworkManager, and failed with that too.
This is the hardware:
# lspci -v -s 00:14.3
00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Raptor Lake PCH CNVi WiFi (rev
01)

Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi

And this is dmesg:

Would net-wireless/iwd get me a bit further?
Meanwhile, I'll keep on exploring with the results of sys-apps/hw-probe.
Hey Peter
This might be the wrong firmware being loaded.
Are you building your the iwlwifi driver not as a module but directly
into the kernel?
Are you including your firmware into the kernel?
If you do the above, try loading the driver as a module. Also enable
both DVM and MVM Firmware support.
Then emerge sys-kernel/linux-firmware without USE=savedconfig.
Finally reboot and check wther it works. If it works, check which
firmware is loaded in your dmesg.
