Installed OpenBSD on this same box. iwx driver has the same issue

iwx0:could not load firmware, 35

iwx0:failed to load init firmware

I believe Haiku uses FreeBSD wifi drivers but I was unable to get FreeBSD working on this box as running pkg caused a hard reboot.

Does anything change if you enable CSM in your UEFI?

comment:4 by tamudude, 14 months ago

Enabled CSM in UEFI and rebooted. No change.

Does it work in 32bit Haiku?

I believe Haiku uses FreeBSD wifi drivers

Nope, it uses a mixture. The "iaxwifi200" driver comes from OpenBSD. So, if OpenBSD has the exact same problem on your hardware, please report it to them.

I should note, mine seems to be working.

device Network controller [2|80|0]
  vendor 8086: Intel Corporation
  device 2725: Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz

A few notes since this is a Wifi6E card...

  • Haiku doesn't support WPA3 yet
  • Haiku doesn't support 6Ghz yet

Make sure the network you're attempting to doesn't fit those metrics. In my case, I have a Wifi6 network on 2.5/5Ghz with WPA2 which works with this card as-is (minus the issue seen in #18582)

I reported this bug to OpenBSD and they fixed it. Looks like their fix was implmented in haikuOS per https://www.haiku-os.org/blog/waddlesplash/2024-03-14_haiku_activity_contract_report_february_2024/

"waddlesplash ported a small fix to the idualwifi7260 and iaxwifi200 drivers from OpenBSD"

Connects and work well on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz connection now, on build hrev57645. This ticket can be considered closed.

That fix had nothing to do with firmware loading and only affected things after firmware loaded. However, there was a change back in January which imported other fixes from OpenBSD including some that did affect firmware loading, so that must be the one that contained your fix.

Can you please link where you reported the bug to OpenBSD?

Not the exact link where I posted the bug but see here for the fix https://marc.info/?l=openbsd-tech&m=170395542031215&w=2
