Hi there, I am unable to get the wireless working. My details as follows;

 

kernel-5.8.17-200.fc32.x86_64

 

/sbin/lspci | grep "Network controller"
02:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168NGW [Stone Peak] (rev 10)

Have cp from kernel.org to /lib/firmware/intel and rebooted, then tried it again with the intel file. With the following outcome.
 

dmesg | egrep iwl*

modinfo iwlwifi | grep iwlwifi
filename:       /lib/modules/5.8.16-200.fc32.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko.xz
firmware:       iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode

 

Can someone shed some light as to how I can get it to work?

 

Thanks
