I cannot install the whole non-free firmware-iwlwifi package because this firmware installation is occurring on Proxmox, a debian-based distribution, and this package has conflicts with that distro. Proxmox recommends just installing the single firmware for my device. I've googled for days and I'm not quite sure how to do that - hence this post.
GOAL: Set up working wifi and bluetooth with the AX200 intel combo device in Proxmox 6.2-10 host by installing the correct and latest firmware.
STEPS TAKEN TO INSTALL FIRMWARE:
- Copy ibt-20-1-4.ddc and ibt-20-1-4.sfi files from git tree (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... tree/intel) to /lib/firmware/intel
- Run update-initramfs -k all -u
- Reboot system
- ibt-20-1-3 firmware is loaded instead of newer ibt-20-1-4 firmware.
- Even when ibt-20-1-3 is found, it fails with dmesg message: Bluetooth: hci0: Failed to send firmware signature (-38)
- The firmware is not included yet in debian latest firmware-iwlwifi package (no AX200 listed here): https://packages.debian.org/buster/firmware-iwlwifi
- The firmware is available here, with latest being ibt-20-1-4: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... tree/intel
