Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz, REV=0x430

The following errors are reported by OS during start up:

i2c i2c-2: Failed to register i2c client ITE8853:00 at 0x4e (-16)
Serial bus multi instantiate pseudo device driver INT3515:00: err or -ENXIO: IRQ Index 1 not found

I am too facing the same problem.

- Intel does not have Linux driver for "Intel Wi-Fi 6E Ax211 160Mhz" as on 2024.May.02.

- Nor a documentation/Instruction to sign-in the module for secure-boot (in case you are using secure-boot).

- Have to wait to the Intel developers to write Linux driver for "Intel Wi-Fi 6E Ax211 160Mhz"

- Latest driver that Intel has is is for "Intel Wi-Fi 6E Ax210 160Mhz" for Kernels 5.10.+

Any updates? I'm having the same issue. Linux is asking for:

Min version: iwlwifi-ma-a0-gf-a0-39

Max version: iwlwifi-ma-a0-gf-a0-72

But none can be found on the linux firmware repo. The product page says Linux is supported

I tries older drivers from Intel's site mentioned above. But non worked.

So I reinstalled the OS now everything works. Ubuntu 20.04.6 has some drive that comes with OS, they works fine.

If you some how update or by any means uninstall and reinstall the network-namager and try to reinstall the Intel Wifi. You will have this issue. At least I fell into this problem this way.

You could either work with Ethernet for time being, and wait for Intel to release driver for Intel hardware: Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 160MHz.

Or go for a Fresh Install of OS. (This is really time taking process & and restore data & re configure all frameworks for ongoing projects)

WiFi no problem here, but bluetooth.

Sorry for the late response.

I got it all to work with the 6.9 vanilla kernel.

For Xorg I had to add this manually to a file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/

Hello Alberto!

I have a similar problem. Thanks for the information. However, the link you give points to a page

that doesn't provide an easy link to the driver. There is a firmware git tree, and I looked at it.

I get something that looks like a 500 lines directory.

- There is not even a single line with a loose correlation with "AX211" or even 6E

- As there is an intel subfolder, I checked it, same story.

Don't know if it's just me, but your reply doesn't help me at all.

Let's get straight to the point. I'm also using a PC board with an Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6E AX211 module.

- Where is the driver? I would appreciate a link to the driver, not to the whole git tree.

If not possible (because it may change periodically) then the accurate name of the driver itself,

with possibly stars instead of the version numbers.

Thanks,

Elodie.
