I just bought a renewed Lenovo t14 Gen 2 and I’m having trouble setting up Fedora wifi on the dual boot. Wireless wifi works fine on my windows boot but on fedora only ethernet is available and no wireless networks are available. It detects my wifi adapter but for some reason it just won’t work, I’ve been trying to troubleshoot with AI and searching the web but I can’t find a solution.
Laptop: Lenovo ThinkPad T14 Gen 2 (Tiger Lake)
Distro: Fedora (fresh install)
Kernel: 6.17.11-300.fc43.x86_64 (also have 6.17.1 available in GRUB)
Wi-Fi card: Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX201 (8086:a0f0)
Wired Ethernet works (I219-LM). Wi-Fi doesn’t show / can’t initialize.
iwlwifi fails very early with a timeout. No “loaded firmware …ucode” or PNVM lines show up, it just resets and dies.
Output from:
sudo journalctl -b -k -g iwlwifi --no-pager

I’ve already tried disabling fast boot, secure boot, cool reboot (hold for 30 secs)
If anyone knows something to get around or if you would need more info to help me out that would be great o
