Thinks I have tried

  1. Tried using Mint, CatchyOs, Ubuntu - All show the same error
  2. Tried switching off fastboot in BIOS, tried as many settings as I could find

I know the wifi works because it works 100% in windows. I have also tried disabling fast startup in windows and disabling the wifi in windows. Eventually after 1 week of trying I have removed windows as the problem doesnt seem to be connected to fastboot.

here is some more information
lspci -k

00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi WiFi (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX211 160MHz 2x2 [Garfield Peak]
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

What can I try to get it to work
It appears I have the same issues as

From years of experience with linux, it is not unusual for upgrades to break WiFi, so I keep a USB WiFi dongle that supports linux. While it has been true that Intel WiFi was relatively problem-free, Intel has been reducing staff, so Linux support may have been affected.

See https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi and the LHDB for USB WiFi dongles known to work with linux. Avoid dongles whose vendor doesn’t specify the chipset, and avoid chipsets that don’t have drivers from kernel.org.

Are you saying that this wifi card in this Dell is not supported and I should get a Wifi dongle as an alternative?

WiFi issues after an update or upgrade with chipsets that have kernel support are usually transient. I’ve never needed a WiFi dongle for long periods. Most WiFi issues get resolved with UEFI/BIOS and vendor firmware updates. Searching for your WiFi model and “error 110” doesn’t get other recent reports, so you should check that you have applied the latest updates.

Given Intel’s staff reductions, it would not be surprising that Linux support isn’t getting the same prompt attention as in the past.

Intel AX211 Product Brief says “Linux* (limited feature support)”.

Thanks George

I have purchased a TP link usb wifi dongle and have wifi working. I will wait and see if a new version of the kernel works at some point in the future
