WiFi not working - Intel WiFi 6 AX200 - AORUS MASTER B550 - MANJARO KDE 20.2.1

Greetings :slight_smile: I am using an AORUS B550 Master Board and I am unable to use Wifi or Bluetooth (both integrated). I am looking for help.

I am using MANJARO-KDE 20.2.1

The Device shows in System Settings → Hardware Configuration → Network Controller as Wi-Fi 6 AX200 (Intel Corporation) But no wireless connections are available and it looks like WiFi is not enabled.

PS. I have tried different Kernels with the same result / I have tried installing iwlwifi driver with different Kernels but the build fails each time.

Many thanks in advance

PPS I am a complete Noob and have very little experience with Linux or ARCH so please forgive me if I have not included enough info, I am not sure how to do so.

Welcome to the forum! :wave:

I moved your other posts here so they’re all in one place.

You can use the commands from the other post, that would be a good start. :wink:

Also see:

I experience nearly identical condition with AsRock X470 with Ryzen 3950X and Intel 3168 wifi card.

Losing any wifi network listed in Connections began with update to kernel 5.8 for me. It continued to fail in 5.9 and now 5.10. Boot back to either kernel 5.4 LTS or to Win10, and wifi functionality returned at full strength and performance.

I scoured journalctl logs until I was blurry eyed. I found some errors indicating failure of iwlwifi but nothing I could call definitive.

I still have no idea what they broke, but stumbled on this workaround: Boot into UEFI/BIOS and disable your ethernet port. Boot 5.10 and >ZAM< … wifi network listed and connects.

Go figure. Hope it works for you.

I am having issues as well with an Intel AX200 card. Booting the 5.10 kernel results in wifi that has poor uplink speed. (6MB/s file copy to my home server). Booting the LTS kernel results in a file copy speed of about 30MB/s. Here are the log messages from 5.10

Is the firmware not being initialized correctly under the latest kernel?

I got an issue with ax200 at 5.10, 5.9, 5.8 kernel too.
can’t connect wifi for using 5G, only connect to wifi at 2.5G.
upload speed is around 30Mb, download speed is around 50Mb.

can use 5g at 5.4kernel, but the speed is really slow.

everything works fine at windows10.

Has anyone found a solution to this? Although I’m using Ubuntu, it’s the same issues, can’t connect to 5.0 Ghz. I’ve tried ax200, ax201, ax210, and now even a AC9260. The 9260 would actually connect but at about 8 Mb upload only. With the ax201 and ax210 I tried kernels 5.8, and 5.10-5.13. I am starting to suspect it might be a CNVio problem between the card and the CPU. I’m using a Intel® Core™ i7-10875H CPU @ 2.30GHz with a Juno Neptune 17, also sold as Clevo PC70DD2. Do these specs match anyone else’s?

Since January, I had littlew time to use my PC and a week or two ago I had a play a BAM everything is working on all versions of Linux that I tried. Thankyou to everyone who replied :slight_smile:
