Hello.
I've got a laptop with the above WiFi card.
I just upgraded to 14.3 in order to see if stability and/or speed could
improve.
For stability, time will tell.
For speed, I'm still see:
> media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11g
(BTW, I'm quite sure it was 54Mbps (on the same network) with 14.2).
In any case, by default compat.linuxkpi.80211.hw_crypto=0.
I tried enabling this: in fact a bigger speed is reported, ping works,
but then I start getting errors in the logs:
> iwl_mvm_tx_mpdu:1280: fc 0x4188 tid 1 txq_id 65535 mvm 0xfffffe00ae81c548 skb 0xfffffe00af70e170 { len 106 } info 0xfffffe001096dc78 sta 0xfffff8000a3ec9c0 (see PR 274382)
Also, trying to get into the laptop via ssh now hangs after I type the
password.
I had a brief look at that bug report: it's marked as fixed and AFAICT
it's all in 14.3.
iwlwifi(4) says "802.11n/ac is only available on the 22000 and later
chipset generations".
I guess this excludes my card...
So should I try harder or am I just wasting time?
Is support for 11n on this card expected to be available in the future?
Is there anything I can do to help?
bye & Thanks
av.
P.S.
As a side question, more out of curiosity than need, I read this card
should also implement BlueTooth, but I see no trace of it.
Is there anything I should do to enable it?
