#17966 new bug

idualwifi7260 firmware not loading

Reported by:	slubman	Owned by:	waddlesplash
Priority:	normal	Milestone:	Unscheduled
Component:	Drivers/Network/idualwifi7260	Version:	R1/Development

Blocked By:	#17833	Blocking:
Platform:	x86-64

Description (last modified by slubman)

Installed Haiku R1/Beta3 x86_64 in UEFI mode on a Thinkpad T450s. Since the system has been updated to the latest Haiku dev version (hrev56506 as of writing)

The WiFi card is detected but not working.

In the syslog the relevant part is:

I see there is the existing issue #17833 , however contrary to this one the bluetooth is also not working.

I have attached the full syslog file

dupe of #17855 please have a look at this ticket.

comment:5 by slubman, 2 years ago

I don't think my issue is related to the one in #17855 as for example the driver does not report a mac address for the wifi card nor can I get a list of network to be asked for a passphrase

Having experience with "failed to load init firwmare" before, this is almost definitely related to #17833. No MAC address generally just means the driver failed to initialize all the way. And of course no initialization means you cannot get lists of networks.

From the syslog:

KERN: PCI:   vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
KERN: PCI:   device 095b: Wireless 7265 (Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265)

What version of the intel_wifi_firmwares package is installed?

Can you test to see if this works on OpenBSD?

The wifi card is not working in the OpenBSD installer with a similar error

No, that means the firmware is not installed. You have to fetch the package containing it with the fwupdate tool. See guides elsewhere on how to do that.

comment:9 by slubman, 2 years ago

Tested on an installed OpenBSD 7.1 system, and the wifi card does work there.

Upvoted this, I'm experiencing the same issue on my desktop machine with Haiku under UEFI. I'm running Haiku R1/Beta4.

Please retest with a recent nightly and see if anything is different here.

Just tried with hrev57640, and still no luck for the wifi. Furthermore, the bluetooth dialog seems not to be working anymore.

I've got the same problem on hrev57937.

KERN: [net/idualwifi7260/0] compat_open(0x2)
KERN: idualwifi7260: fw chunk addr 0x800000 len 81920 failed to load
KERN: idualwifi7260: could not load firmware chunk 0 of 3
KERN: idualwifi7260: failed to load init firmware

It seems the problem is related to UEFI. If I boot in legacy / BIOS mode, the wifi works.
