Hello folks, A few days ago I got my hands on a Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9. This laptop ships with an Intel AX210 radio. Running stable/13 on this machine seems to work fine so far. The only missing piece is the wireless driver. I am fully aware of the fact that the current state of the new iwlwifi driver doesn't support 802.11ac or 802.11ax. I'd be happy with getting 802.11b/g/n working. On 2021-11-27 I updated stable/13 and tried to apply the setup script which is supposed to patch the kernel source to make this new driver work. However, this operation was unsucessful: root@x1g9:/usr/src # ./iwlwifi.sh Script expects to run from src/ Fetching patches and tarballs ... 20210904-linuxkpi-latest.tar 250 kB 603 kBps 00s 20210904-iwlwifi-latest.tar 25 MB 5134 kBps 05s 20210904-rtw88-latest.tar 3505 kB 2913 kBps 01s 20210904-net80211-latest.diff 13 kB 13 MBps 00s 20210904-build-latest.diff 2878 B 40 MBps 00s Applying changes related to net80211 ...

[y] y The iwlwifi wiki was updated in the meantime with this note: > 2021-11-28 The driver and firmware went into HEAD (detached from build) My question: As of today, what is the correct way to get the iwlwifi driver onto a stable/13 system? As per my understaning, HEAD would correspond to -CURRENT which would mean that stable/13 doesn't (yet) have these changes. Will these MFCs show up in the next few days? Thank you all for your efforts. Best regards, ~ Joel Bodenmannhome | help
