BE200 Not working on Fedora 42

[Izzami]

Hi, I have just bought a new Intel BE200 and I've installed it in my Asus laptop (A555L). I've had several problems to make it work on Windows, but in the end downgrading the drivers did the trick.

However I'm not able to make it work even on Linux.

Right now I'm on Fedora 42 with kernel 6.16.7. The WiFi and Bluetooth don't show up.

Hello Izzami,

Thank you for posting in Intel community Forum.

For me to better understand and diagnose the issue further, let me ask you to provide detailed responses to the following questions. This information will help me isolate the problem and determine the most appropriate course of action moving forward.

1. Did you manually install the BE200 on this Asus laptop?
2. May I know why did you replace the wireless controller?
3. May I also ask for the link of the driver that you use?

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.

Best regards,

Hi, thanks for reaching back.

Here's the answers:

1. Yes I've manually installed the new card into the laptop
2. I've decided to replace it 'cause I need my laptop for University and my old wifi card only supported 2.4Ghz networks, so I've decided to upgrade it
3. On my windows installation I've made it work thanks to these drivers: https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/NETWORK-CARD/INTEL/Intel-Wi-Fi-7-BE200-WLAN-Driver-23-0-5-7-for-Windows-11.shtml for wifi and https://drivers.softpedia.com/get/BLUETOOTH/Intel/Intel-Wi-Fi-7-BE200-Bluetooth-Driver-23-0-0-10-for-Windows-11.shtml for bluetooth. They are the only drivers that work for this wifi card, as newer drivers keep showing error 10. Still this is not a perfect experience, since every time windows update finds that there's a new driver version it updates them and both bluetooth and wifi stop working. Regarding Linux drivers I don't have any link, as i can't find the drivers the card is asking for.

Hello Izzami,

Thank you for the update.

Before we proceed let e share this link: Regulatory Information Regarding Wireless Hardware Installation or...

Let me ask, have you tried contacting Asus before manually installing Intel BE200 for proper installation and configuration and to check the compatibility? Based on the link, it is best to check it first just to make sure that the system supports the card.

If you have questions, please let us know. Thank you.
