WLAN not working: PCI Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 on Lenovo Laptop

[grexe]

(reconnecting to BeOS/Haiku after a long time here for a personal project:)

I've tried to get wireless working with the guide at: ​https://www.haiku-os.org/docs/userguide/en/workshop-wlan.html

I ran the script successfully to install the firmware, but it seems my chipset is not supported, does not even appear in NetworkSettings.

My setup is:

Lenovo V510-15IKB
WLAN:
PCI, Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165 Plus Bluetooth
Class: Network controller
ID: 0x3166
Interface: 0
Subtype: 0x80
Type: 0x2
Vendor: 0x8086
Manf.: Intel

​Offical specs on Intel website

Using Haiku nightly hrev53888 on x86_64 UEFI system.

You do not need to do this unless you have one of the extremely old chipsets listed there.

This chipset should be supported by the "idualwifi7260" driver (aka "iwm" from FreeBSD), so please post a syslog.

oh, then the docs (and possibly the script) need an update;) here is the relevant syslog output:

~> grep -i idualwifi7260 /var/log/syslog

The docs already do say that:

All supported modern wireless hardware works out of the box. A few quite old chipsets ...

and then it lists the old chipsets.

Duplicate of #14298.

ah you're right @waddlesplash, and sorry, didn't spot the original bug btw.

That's OK. :)
