I’m having what looks like the same problem as Reddit - Dive into anything
Am seeing errors in dmesg about being unable to locate the firmware just like that post.
The solution suggested in that post doesn’t seem to work with Fedora 40, can someone help me with re-unpacking the firmware?
Apologies for posting a photo, the machine is hard to access without wifi.
I did install docker yesterday but I’m not sure that is related.
Those messages are normal and not the cause of your problem. It tries multiple firmware filenames until one succeeds. You’ll have to look elsewhere to debug this. If ip link shows your wifi device, chances are the problem lies somewhere in userspace packages, not the kernel/firmware.
Are you sure rfkill isn’t just enabled? sudo rfkill to check.
Thanks Hector. It’s not rfkill.

I think it might be related to selinux. I disabled selinux to get docker going (I was in a rush).
I was about to post back about those errors, I worked with Broadcom crap for a while and remember how misleading their “errors” were.
I’m tethered over usb now so I can fetch more. The interface is present - once you get past those errors this looks ok.

I don’t need you to spend a ton of time on one person’s problems. I can usb tether until I get home and use wired once I get home. If there’s anything obvious to try please call it out otherwise please work on stuff that helps more than one person. Thanks for all your hard work, Asahi is the best.
I’ll update here once I solve this.
The first few errors (up to the p2p stuff) are normal (unsupported features). It’s at second 44 where things break. It looks like the wifi firmware just crashes.
The question now is what happened to cause it. If it’s something we can reproduce somehow then we can try to investigate. But it’s very difficult to debug this “remotely”.
Just as a sanity check, can you post the output of sha1sum /lib/firmware/vendor/brcm/*hokkaido*?
You can also put options brcmfmac debug=0xffffff in /etc/modprobe.d/brcmfmac-debug.conf and then run sudo dracut -f --kver=$(uname -r) and reboot. That will enable a lot of debug output, so expect things to slow down. But if you can reproduce the crashing wifi with that on, it might give as a clue as to what happened.
@marcan apologies, back from my travels, busily parenting and useing my marvellous m2 with a wired connection.

Unfortunately it’s connecting to my home wifi just fine. The struggles were with a hotel wifi (no password, captive portal) so it might be something specific to this. I’ll make sure I come back here if I see the issues again. Thanks.
Hashes look good… and yeah, sounds like a problem specific to a given wifi network. Please do report back if you can reproduce it.
Next time, you could try: Getting the login screen on hotel WiFi .
Not sure if it’s the same issue, but on Friday, right after upgrading the kernel 6.9.5, I tried to connect to the SFO free wifi and it left my laptop unable to even browse for other networks. I downgraded to 6.8.9 and it got in the same state. If I ignored it, after a reboot I was able to use my phone’s hotspot.
I also set options brcmfmac debug=0xffffff and ran dracut -f --kver=$(uname -r), but I’m not seeing any verbose output in the journal even now, after upgrading to 6.9.9 (which I assume ran dracut as well).

I have the same problem but it persists between reboots and networks.
dmesg always shows the following lines:

A also added the options like @denulu and couldn’t see any verbose output.

The OP had a problem with a hotel wifi network, but was able to use a home network, so the problem was network dependent. If you are having problems with hotel or free public wifi please review the “Getting the login screen on hotel WiFi” posted previously.
If you have the problem with a home network, please start a new topic. For starters, show us the output from ip link and also check that rfkill isn’t enabled.
Thanks, sorry I missed your reply until now. I wasn’t getting an ip address like the person in that article was - my issue was more layer 2, some kind of wifi protocol combination that wasn’t working perhaps?
