Issues with Intel AX210 6e Adapter | Debian 5.10.0-17

#1 Post by siratomxvii »

Hi! I recently switched to Debian on my Samsung Galaxy Book Pro 360 13", however the WiFi was not working. When I ran ip a, it would only show the ethernet wire and the local loopback. I managed to install some firmware such that the wireless interface now shows up, and WiFi networks are viewable in KDE Plasma's WiFi connection settings, however, when connecting to the network, all other networks go invisible and it just says "Configuring interface" for around a minutes before crashing and emptying the WiFi area. Afterwards I can stop and start the WiFi interface (by disabling and re-enabling it through settings) and the networks will show up again. I am never able to fully connect to a network however.

Here is my ip a:

Code: Select all

1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
    inet 127.0.0.1/8 scope host lo
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
    inet6 ::1/128 scope host 
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever
2: enx4ce173421e2e: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast state UP group default qlen 1000

    inet 129.21.131.189/24 brd 129.21.131.255 scope global dynamic noprefixroute enx4ce173421e2e

Please tell us exactly what you have done. What, from where and how? Vague language does not help anyone.

Details of the wifi device are essential;

Code: Select all

lspci | grep -i -A3 network
Or lsusb if it's a USB device.

AX210 support was only introduced for kernel 5.10 so linux-image-amd64 from bullseye-backports might work better.

As well as firmware-iwlwifi from bookworm, which hasn't been backported to help out the newer kernels at all. You may want to see if your missing files appear in its description.

It's quite safe to install the firmware deb from bookworm. DISCLAIMER: Don't assume this will be the case with any other deb from upstream Debian.
