I have the Intel Wi-Fi 7 BE201 Wireless card (without vPro) (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/sku/230079/intel-wifi-7-be201/ordering.html) and I am trying to get it to work in Ubuntu Linux 24.04 LTS.
Here some diagnostics:
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

I need the firmware file iwlwifi-so-a0-fm-c0-89.ucode as stated by the iflwifi output.
I have checked https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/intel/iwlwifi but the needed file is not available.
Can you please check for availability of this file?

Hello nilsbyte,
Thank you for posting in Intel Communities.
1) Is this a newly purchased device with out-of-the-box issue?
2) Is the Intel® Wi-Fi 7 BE201 a pre-installed component on your device or is this a replacement or upgrade component on your system?
3) Please help share your system configuration so I can fully check and provide you with an accurate fix. This could be possible by downloading the Intel® System Support Utility for the Linux* Operating System.
- Download the Intel® System Support Utility for the Linux* operating system and save the ssu.tar.gz file to your system.
- Extract the ssu.sh file from ssu.tar.gz and save to your system.
- To run the ssu.sh script from a Linux* terminal, Open Applications->Accessories->Terminal.
- From the current directory, navigate to the current folder where the ssu.sh file resides. For example, if you saved the ssu.sh file to a folder called SSU File, the command would be cd SSU File.
- Run the ssu.sh file using this command: ./ssu.sh <parameter=0|1> where 0 = off and 1 = enabled.
- Use the parameter definitions included in the readme to determine which parameter to use.
Note:
- If no parameter is specified and only ./ssu.sh is run, it captures all system information with the exception of 3rd party logs that must be specified.
Looking forward to your reply.
Best regards,

Hello Jeanette,
1. It's a newly purchased Wifi 7 BE201 module
2. I have installed the module in an existing system. The module is successfully recognized but the operating system (Ubuntu 24.04 LTS) is missing the firmware file (iwlwifi-so-a0-fm-c0-89).
3. I currently can not access the device and cannot provide the details from ssu
As stated before, the Linux Kernel Repository is missing the firmware file needed by iwlwifi. I am using Linux Kernel 6.17.5

Hello nilsbyte,
Thank you for the information about your newly purchased WiFi 7 BE201 module.
I understand that while the module is recognized in Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Linux Kernel 6.17.5, you're missing the required firmware file (iwlwifi-so-a0-fm-c0-89) from the Linux Kernel Repository.
Let me check on this internally for now and I will post an update once it is available.
Best regards
JeanetteC.

Hello nilsbyte,
Please continue to install the latest (and stable) version of the mainline kernel, 6.17, from kernel.org, which includes the latest wireless drivers, and install the latest wireless firmware from firmware git tree for the Intel BE201, version only
iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0-100 and iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0.pnvm
This should help resolve the issue you're experiencing.
Best regards,

Hello Jeanette,
Please read my previous posts in this thread.
- I already said that I have installed 6.17.5 kernel on my system. you even confirmed my statement.
- The iwlwifi driver demands the firmware file "iwlwifi-so-a0-fm-c0-89" on my system. You confirmed that you understood that, too.
Why are you now repeating to suggest installation of kernel 6.17 if i have already done so before posting this thread?
Why are you suggesting iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0-100 and iwlwifi-bz-b0-fm-c0.pnvm? These are not the files iwlwifi is demanding.
Please escalate this case to your driver engineering team.
Thank you
