Unable to load firmware file iwlwifi-cc-a0-56.ucode

[hacketiwack]

Dear All, When booting, I get the following error in the logs:

iwlwifi 0000:02:00.0: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-cc-a0-56.ucode failed with error -2 Current situation The error is reported in the logs, but the WiFi network card works properly. The device falls back to the wlwifi-cc-a0-55.ucode firmware. The firmware file does not exist in the /usr/lib/firmware/ directory.

Expected situation The correct firmware is downloaded. There is no error in the logs.

Remarks I could not find any firmware named iwlwifi-cc-a0-56.ucode at this address: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/

Could it be a mistake or typo in the file name iwlwifi-cc-a0-56.ucode instead of iwlwifi-cc-a0-59.ucode or vice versa?

Thanks for your help.

Well the latest firmware update doesn't have it yet. When it is included in https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git go ahead and make a firmware update request.

I'm having the same issue, is there a solution available?

Actually, with the latest version of Clear Linux, the problem does not appear anymore. The loaded version is: loaded firmware version 59.601f3a66.0 cc-a0-59.ucode op_mode iwlmvm

However, there is now another error: api flags index 2 larger than supported by driver
