Hello MC3D_Real,


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. What is the brand and model of your system?
  2. Did you install the BE201 on the system manually as an upgrade or is it embedded in the system?
  3. What are the troubleshooting steps that you tried so far?


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


Best regards,

Michael L.

Hello,

 

I tried manually finding iwlwifi-ma-b0-fm-c0-89.ucode and "installing" it. But I didn't find it anywhere. Tried different firmwares and renaming them. I did install BE201 as an testing upgrade. The base is a ThinkPad E14 Gen 6. The BE201 is internal with custom external antennas. Is this wifi chip maybe too new? Neither in my laptop or my desktop it worked.
