Please help with the Intel AX211 wifi  problem.

Thank you in advance.

My kernel version is 6.5.0-25-generic.And also equipped with AX211. I have solved this problem by downloading iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-83.ucode from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/

Notice that all of three files following is needed.

I search this page on 2024. 3. 14 and can find these three files of need:

-rw-r--r-- iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-83.ucode 1753308 logstatsplain
-rw-r--r-- iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-86.ucode 1695788 logstatsplain
-rw-r--r-- iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0.pnvm 55092 logstatsplain

Download and copy to the directory /lib/firmware/.Then reboot. Errors solved.

You need to find the firmware files of your current kernel version.

Because I find out that iwlwifi-ma-b0-gf-a0-83.ucode firmware works well with my AX211.An easy way is that download this file and rename to your missing firmware file name to treat Linux kernel to load it.23333

Command to find your missing firmware file name: 

sudo dmesg | grep iwl

Your might get output as list:

[ 4.870371] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: minimum version required: iwlwifi-ma-a0-gf-a0-39
[ 4.870383] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: maximum version supported: iwlwifi-ma-a0-gf-a0-72

rename with same prefix: iwlwifi-ma-a0-gf-a0.

Hi, curious as I have very similar setup with the same AX211 and revision - did you solve this on proxmox? I am on the latest 6.5.13-5 kernel and still see invalid buffer destination and traffic disruption

Thanks
