Hello, I have some interesting updates. I have tried to: a. Boot Fedora 31 on the laptop (Live version from USB drive) – adapter is detected and finds Wi-Fi networks. It just works. b. Boot Fedora 31 Live (from the same USB drive) in a HVM with attached Wi-Fi card. It had 2000MiB of RAM. It fails in the same way as my previous attempts, not sure why.
This looks like the AppVM is fine, but there is some glitch in the PCI handling. It might be related to Xen or to the DM, not sure. HVM: https://gist.github.com/v6ak/76f2c089c63b1fe184f3717d5bd5254e sys-net with Fedora 31: https://gist.github.com/v6ak/30ecc502d1ce7508953eb3d505564668 I have also resolved the chicken-egg problem – I can connect to the Internet via USB. This is not a permanent solution, but it was good enough for updating dom0. However, the update (+ subsequent reboot) has not changed anything.
