INTEL WIFI AX1650 on Porteus5.0

[ofsha]

hello friends

trying to test the current version (5.0 NO RC) on my dell xps
Was working "out of the box" with RC3

dmesg | grep iwlwifi.*ucode
[ 28.537961] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: loaded firmware version 62.49eeb572.0 Qu-c0-hr-b0-62.ucode op_mode iwlmvm

But with last version I'm getting:
dmesg | grep iwlwifi.*ucode
[ 13.945235] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Direct firmware load for iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-72.ucode failed with error -2

Understand. Try starting here: Porteus Kernel Builder (Post by Ed_P #88239)

Download here https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/BLF ... 0-71.ucode and make a module then reboot

/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-71.ucode

Copied bambam file to:
rootcopy/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-Qu-c0-hr-b0-71.ucode
and rebooted.

ofsha Happy to hear you got your Dell wifi working.

babam how can the 71 driver work when Blaze posted a few months ago

/* Highest firmware API version supported */
#define IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MAX 63

Has the API_MAX changed?

[Blaze]

I didn't make any changes, everything is default. Factory supply

[Ed_P]

I didn't make any changes, everything is default. Factory supply

Where does one find the "/* Highest firmware API version supported */" line in Porteus 5.0?

rather than copying each module to the /tmp/mod directory??
