Centrino Wireless-N 1000 not working with Linux 6.16

[julemand101]

I am using Arch Linux which got the Linux 6.16 kernel recently in their distribution. After installing the new kernel, my WiFi fails to work on my laptop and gets an "No config found for PCI dev 0084/1315" error from the kernel. Here are some relevant info:

lspci | grep Centrino

dmesg | grep iwlwifi

zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_IWLDVM

I have verified I have installed the Intel firmware files but I don't think this is related to firmware:

pacman -Q linux-firmware-intel
linux-firmware-intel 20250808-1

I know this is an old laptop with an old WiFi card but as far I can see in the kernel source, it should still be supported as far I understand the driver source code in the kernel:

/* 1000 Series WiFi */
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x0083, 0x1205, iwl1000_mac_cfg)},
{IWL_PCI_DEVICE(0x0083, 0x1305, iwl1000_mac_cfg)},

Please let me know if there are some patches that are worth trying out to fix this issue.

After downgrading the kernel and the firmware packages mentioned above wireless is working again.

Hi @hearunit4048 

I can see a Linux kernel bug report have been created for your issue here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220472

I have then also created a bug report for my issue which can be found here:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220477

People with similar problems are also talking here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2257335

[hearunit4048]

Hi @julemand101 ,

thanks for the pointers and kudos for the time you spent on the "bisect-party" at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=2257335

[julemand101]

There are now a patch file on the kernel issue https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=220472 which solves my specific problem mentioned in this thread.

It does not solve it for other cards but a comment have been made on the issue that other cards are hit by similar issue so I hope it will also be fixed.

For "real" solution, we still need to await a fix to be made into the Linux kernel itself and released. So until that happens, I do not consider this issue "solved". But the fix works if you compile your own Linux kernel with the fix.

[julemand101]

Just want to verify, since Linux 6.16.1 got released, that my issue are exactly the same in 6.16.1. Which are not surprising since the changelog does not contain any fixes for iwlwifi which seems related to my issue.
