I’ve plugged the Intel 9260 Wifi+BT adapter to the M2 type E connector and installed the linux-firmware package but the wifi device is still UNCLAIMED. Any ideas of what I’m missing?
This is probably telling you that when the hardware was detected and announced, no driver took ownership. Looks like it probably uses one of the IWLWIFI drivers. What do you see from:
I don’t have that particular adapter, but it sounds like the device driver never loaded. Anyone here know what can be checked for the Intel 7260 to find out if the driver is in place?
Have you managed to get Intel 9260 working?
We have tested with Intel 7260 and 8265 and they are all functional, so perhaps this is just a driver incompatibility on Intel 9260, however we don’t have it on hand to do more investigation now.
The symbol not found error implies there was a prerequisite dependency feature config needed but not found. A contrived example would be if you enabled encrypted file systems, but no encryption method was defined. When changing config from a match of “/proc/config.gz” to add what you want I suggest using “make nconfig” for the configuration change since you can search for symbols and have it resolve dependencies.
One place you might find unresolvable symbols is if the feature is backported from some future kernel and the other feature has not yet been invented in this version. Or conversely, if something old is being used and one of the related features no longer exists.
I looked at the kernel config everything is like its supposed to be. No dmesg messages except GPIO line 339 (wifi-enable) hogged as output/high. I checked my order and sure enough they sent the wrong card so exchanging it for the recommended card.
Good for you @danpollock , but i will still have to fight the 9260 :)
Could you do me a favor and check the /firmware folder, and see what iwlwifi-xxxx.ucode files that is there ?
I un tar’d the kernel source on my pc, but couldn’t find any .ucode files.
Yep on one of them. Just finished up the suspension linkage today. Its finally on the ground. Just have to wire up the motors now and it will be ready to test. Found a couple of issues with the ROS roboteq driver and melodic and fixed those. So the stack is ready to go as well. The firmware is in /lib/firmware doesn’t come with the kernel source. There are 3 different firmwares for the 9260. A little concerned with the plastic box and static so putting a piece of antistatic under the Xavier connected to the metal frame and carbon tube outriggers. Stuffing those with steel wool. That should provide enough sink for any static electricity. Sprayed the box several times with downy and water mix and let it dry too. Since the Xavier is open on the bottom don’t want any sparks jumping to the board and screwing up something.
