Driver Intel WiFi 6E AX210 #1173

I upgraded to this wifi card and I noticed that in ChromeOS that this driver doesn't seem to exist. I have tried to enable the iwlwifi_backport flag as well as enabling kernel 5.10. On my OpenSUSE Tumbleweed install, this card works great. Any help would be awesome

In theory wifi should be supported, could you try to remove the file /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm ?

Good day sebanc, i got the same problem like twilighttony. It's working with kernel-5.10 and your provided solution. You need to activate the iwlwifi option and right after you also need to delete the /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm file. Lastly reboot and the wifi adapter will be found. Later on i will test if it is also working on earlier kernel versions.

Edit: Tested workaorund on old kernel. It seems that it doesn't work with old kernel version.

Thank you very much for your great work! I hope you go on with this :)! You are awesome ^^

The WiFi works after deleting a slightly different pnvm file (so instead of ty), but it appears the Bluetooth on my machine still isn't happy, seems that is a known issue with kernel 5.10 though according to some comments from that thread.

I don’t see any *.pnvm files in the lib/framework/ directory, they all end in .ucode

Separately, if this fix requires Kernel 5.10 I’m out of luck as that kernel doesn’t boot on my machine, only kernel 5.4 does.

Loaded up brunch unstable r98 and am now able to boot into Chrome OS using Kernel 5.10! Thanks so much sebanc!

My only issue now is the Wi-Fi not working with my AX210 wireless card. I’m frustratingly close. I just can’t find the pnvm files in the /lib/framework/ directory. All the files in there end in .ucode and I’ve already renamed the iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0-59.ucode and iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf—a0-66.ucode files but no dice.

Any ideas how to get this working?

EDIT: Looks like none of this is needed anymore as the AX210 is supported on the latest 5.15 kernel natively. Currently booting with the 5.15 kernel (no iwlwifi_backport flag selected) and the AX210 is being recognized!

Hi, Did kernel 5.15 worked for you ? I can finally connect to wifi using ax210 chip but it won't work. I don't have any data transfer. Any idea ?

Edit : My issue seems to be related to #1549

I just reinstalled on a newer computer that has the same wifi card and the default 5.15 kernel works for me with wifi after I setup the device with ethernet, but 6.1 kernel breaks wifi again.
