Hello!
I received my laptop this past Sunday to great excitement. My last computer was an Acer Predator Triton 500, which was a pain and a half to try to switch the ram, wifi, and storage out of- which is exactly what I had to do when it suddenly stopped recognizing the SSD
The pieces I got from Framework are:
RAM: 32GB DDR4-3200 SO-DIMM
CPU: i7-1165G7
(plus power supply and misc. expansion cards)
I brought with me though my wifi card from my previous laptop:
Killer 1550i
Intel model 9560NGW
also a Western Digital terabyte SSD.
OS:
EndeavourOS (based on Archlinux)
So the issue. The issue is wifi does not work. On the previous laptop, wifi worked from the live image of Endeavour. It is not working now from live or installed on the Framework.
What I’ve tried:
-searching for the driver (Intel website says the linux driver for the Killer 1550i is equivalent to that of the Intel® Wireless-AC 9560), and installing it. Haven’t figured out how to install a driver from a file though.
-attaching an ether to usb-a to my usb-a expansion card to start an online install of Endeavour (through Calamares), sharing the network from my desktop. Windows says it’s sending data over ethernet, and the Framework sees the ether network, but the Framework keeps saying it is disconnected (despite never saying it was connected), and Windows says it has received 0 bytes of data over the network share.
I’ve checked everywhere for what to do, I don’t remember where or what exactly because I’ve also been trying to fix my Windows PC which no longer wants to install updates, but still tries to update automatically, which is… not great haha. Anyways. The two issues have run together for me, if I remember anything else I’ve done I’ll add it. Continuing.
EDIT: I have a 512G SSD with ArchLinux installed on it from the Acer, and the Framework says there’s no bootable drive. When I run the Endeavour live iso, it says that there’s an arch partition, efi, etc etc etc, so i dunno whats up there. I remember having to turn off secure boot to get it to load the live iso too. I can send any BIOS settings I have if that affects what’s goin on
when I run lspci, it gives me:
Network controller: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (rev 20)
EDIT: sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi gets me:
iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev a0f0/1552, rev=0x354, rfid=0x105110
iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22
Whether the 1550i is inserted or not. I’ve checked and rechecked the connection numerous times, to no avail. My working theory is I just need to buy a new wifi card because this one is incompatible. Which sucks because I need this up and running ASAP so I can do school stuff outside of my dorm room, i.e., in class.
EDIT: I have tried “modprobe -r iwlwifi” multiple times, there are a couple of the correct driver in the /lib/firmware folder (zipped and unzipped .ucode files), but nothing has changed functionality-wise.
That’s all I can think of right now. If you have any information, literally any help is appreciated! Even if you think “oh she’s already done that”, it’s very possible I have not! If you think I’m asking in the wrong place too, let me know as well. I just want this fixed haha.
Thank you!!
