Subject: PROBLEM: Linux 5.5 fails to load firmware for Intel(R) Dual Band
Wireless AC 3168
I am on an
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz
with an Intel wifi card:
Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 3168, REV=0x220
The machine is running Slackware 14.2 with a custom-compiled 5.5 kernel (from source; commit d5226fa6dbae Linux 5.5).
The issue:
Booting into that kernel results in failure to load the wifi card firmware. The relevant dmesg portion is attached (these are all of the lines containing 'iwlwifi').
I have checked that it breaks between
def9d2780727 Linux 5.5-rc7 (good)
and
d5226fa6dbae Linux 5.5 (bad)
I will attempt a bisect to track down the precise faulty commit, but this is all I have for now. Please let me know if I can provide more info short of the bisect.
P.S.
I have checked that the very latest commit at the time of this writing (41dcd67e88688afbeb3b2bd23960eed5daec74e7 at Fri Feb 7 20:07:29 EST 2020) is still broken on this machine.
