FYI Original Message Subject: Re: Wifi won't work under debian 11.6, please heeeeelpš£ Date: 22.12.2022 08:38 Hi, the problem of wifi card has been resolved special thanks to " here " and all the support team for their attention, my objective is to make Linux especially debian my main OS and promote it to my colleagues and many other users, please if you have any resource from where we can learn more about debian please share. Have a nice day š and thank you again for all Le mercredi 21 dĆ©cembre 2022, 17:35:14 UTC+1, hede a Ć©crit : On Wed, 21 Dec 2022 15:23:47 + (UTC) Mansour zermello wrote: > Hi, thanks for you response, that's reassuring, but in my sourcelist > file i have no any non-free, please tell me all what you did step by > step š. > Thank you so much one more time You have answered me directly here, not to the list. No one else will see this answer. First you can check if you really have this specific wifi chipset via lspci, like Charles suggested. If this is the case, then for a first test it would be sufficient to install the package manually, download: http://ftp.fr.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/f/firmware-nonfree/firmware-iwlwifi_20210818-1~bpo11+1_all.deb as root: dpkg -i firmware-iwlwifi_20210818-1~bpo11+1_all.deb If this works, you can enable the non-free sources by adding "non-free" via text editor to the corresponding lines in /etc/apt/sources.list, like Christoph has shown, to get updates! For further help please answer to the list and not to only to me ;-) regards hede

It does depend on how you copy the firmware across as to whether it works (and for an Intel laptop, you may also need things like sound firmware if it's recent enough) - copying the Debian tarball is one way, I suppose.. USB to Ethernet certainly works - but as we've often seen on this list, people only have WiFi connectivity. A reinstall with the firmware iso will also put the right modules in the right places. [Roll on the next release when we should have the necessary firmware in the install medium from the outset.] With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater > -- > Does anybody read signatures any more? > > https://charlescurley.com > https://charlescurley.com/blog/ >

Follow the install throug, make sure to say that you will use non-free packages and you should be fine thereafter. There should never be a need to go to Intel's website. If the laptop is very new indeed, then you might need to use testing - but stable should work for you. With every good wish, as ever, Andy Cater

You might want to enable the non-free packages as below. ~$ grep non /etc/apt/sources.list|sort deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye main contrib non-free deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates main contrib non-free deb-src http://security.debian.org/debian-security bullseye-security main contrib non-free The Intel drivers are in the non-free packages. BTW: I am not sure if the deb-src are really necessary. I have taken the default sources.list and added the non-free stuff as above. If things work it might be better do delete the stuff which you have copied from elsewhere. > What's the output of the following command? > > dmesg | grep iwlwifi > > regards > hede Kind regards, Christoph -- Ist die Katze gesund schmeckt sie dem Hund.

How did you determine that you have an Intel AX201NGW? I would use lspci, something like "lspci | grep -i network". In my case, on a different laptop, the result is: root@jhegaala:~# lspci | grep -i network 00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82579LM Gigabit Network Connection (Lewisville) (rev 04) 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8188CE 802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01) root@jhegaala:~# I went to the Intel page for this device, and only found Windows drivers. I doubt they will help you much. Linux drivers should already be in your kernel. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/130293/intel-wifi-6-ax201-gig/downloads.html I said, "should". One questions is, does the 11.6 (Bullseye) kernel support this adapter? According to Intel, the kernel supports this adapter as of kernel version 5.2. I am running linux-image-5.10.0-20-amd64 on my Debian 11.6 system, so you should be good there. https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi root@jhegaala:~# uname -a Linux jhegaala 5.10.0-20-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 5.10.158-2 (2022-12-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux root@jhegaala:~# Second, do you also have the proper firmware for your adapter, if any? In Debian, these are packaged separately from the driver itself. According to Intel, it uses the iwlwifi firmware package. To be sure, as root, run: apt install firmware-iwlwifi -- Does anybody read signatures any more? https://charlescurley.com https://charlescurley.com/blog/

Wifi won't work under debian 11.6, please heeeeelpš£
hi, im a moderate user of linux, recently i installed Debian 11.6 on my dell laptop but like you know it already the wifi dont work by default and i was lost in different suggestions how to make it work ( so so many resources ) but no one worked in my case .I have the model: Intel AX201NGW and downloaded the files from the official website of Intel, i extracted the folder in /Downloads, then i copied all the files into /lib/firmware but still not work. Please can you help step by step, to find the right firmware and then place it where its should be. Thank you in advance for your helpĀ Sent from Yahoo Mail on Android
