Despite their proclaimed support of open source, Intel wifi can be a mess on Linux too. Most distributions work well, but Gentoo for one loads the incorrect firmware blob and I am forced to try to create a custom installer image in a VM after emerging the linux-firmware package. The iwlwifi driver just landed in FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE, and I have yet to have any luck with it there, either. Neither Gentoo nor FreeBSD seems to want to load the correct cc-a0-66.ucode blob for my AX200 chip. I think the downstream developers can only bear so much blame; Intel could surely do a better job helping to clear up edge cases like this. |
