I recently purchased a computer that has an Intel AX200 wifi card. While the drivers seem to be included in all the recent firmware updates (Unstable Branch), when the package is extracted, the correct driver files are not in the lib/firmware directory.
When I first installed Manjaro on this computer, I tried all kinds of things, modprobe, etc. to try and have the computer recognize the wifi chip, with no success. I happened upon a post somewhere regarding the “46” driver directly from Intel. I wound up getting the “46” driver from Intel and after a reboot the wifi was recognized and working. Prior to doing that inxi noted the following: Module:iwlwifi Driver N/A.
When manually inserting the following files into lib/firmware, everything works as expected:
iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode (directly from Intel)
iwlwifi-cc-a0-50.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-59.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-66.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-72.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-73.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-74.ucode
iwlwifi-cc-a0-77.ucode
Just this morning with the amd.ucode and firmware updates, I had to manually copy the above files over. Afterwards, wifi is recognized. Why don’t the driver files extract into the directory from the linux-firmware installation file??? The issue occurs with Kernels 6.1 as well as 6.3.
