I just installled Fedora 38 as dualboot on a SAGER laptop. It has an AX211 WiFi chip. WiFi works great on Windows, but doesn’t show up at all on Fedora. I’ve tried the following to troubleshoot:
- Turned off Windows Fast Start-up
- Turned WiFi off on Windows
- Turned Windows to performance, no power saving.
- Made sure Windows fully shut down (switched power button response to shut down instead of sleep)
- Checked for WiFi on Fedora 37, 34 live disks as well as Linux Mint 20 live disk.
- Followed instructions here to download drivers directly: en:users:drivers:iwlwifi [Linux Wireless]
Any ideas for how I could fix this?
Please provide the information for that interface from the output of lspci -nnk so we can see the details. Also provide the output of ls /lib/firmware/iwl* /lib/firmware/intel/ /lib/firmware/intel-ucode/ and dmesg | grep iwl
We need to see what the kernel reports during boot (dmesg) as well as the actual device information (lspci) and the firmware installed on the system for intel devices (ls /lib/firmware et. al.)
Btw, just in case I messed something up trying to manually install drivers previously, I reinstalled Fedora 38 again. So all of the following come with a fresh install + sudo dnf update run twice with a restart in between.
Here’s lspci -nnk:

And here’s dmesg | grep iwl. Looks like there are errors.

Searching for the No config found for PCI dev 51f1/1672 error, I found this archlinux forum that suggests it’s a kernel bug and provides a potential patch. Does this look worth a try? How would I apply that patch to Fedora?
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286305
At the end of that thread, it says the patch should be applied to Linux kernel 6.5. It looks like Fedora 39 will have 6.5. Maybe you could point me in the right direction to try the upstream? Is there a way to build that as a second kernel that will show up as a different boot option?
I tried building Fedora 38 with that patch according to instructions below. I didn’t see any errors and it showed up in GRUB, but after selecting it in GRUB I just got a black screen.
It would appear that is the wifi interface.
A quick search for information related to that chipset shows many hits.
I used linux wifi driver 8086:51f1:1a56:1672 (though that may be more refined), and found many with negative results. Some may have solutions.
You may do some searching and find a fix that works for you, but my first suggestion would be to do a full upgrade using sudo dnf upgrade --refresh then reboot to find out if the problem may already be solved before doing any more digging.
I just installed a new intel wifi card in my machine which is an AX210
$ lspci -nnk | grep -A5 -i network
lspci: Unable to load libkmod resources: error -22
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz [8086:2725] (rev 1a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz [8086:0024]
Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
and it works perfectly. The chipset is slightly different, but still uses iwlwifi and just works.
Network cards in a laptop are usually very easy to replace. I would suggest that you consider the possibility of installing a card similar to this one which is an AX210 and supports both bluetooth and wifi up to 6e.

The price is relatively low and avoiding headaches is priceless.
sudo dnf upgrade --refresh didn’t fix it. And you’re right, lots of problems listed online. The only other fix I saw was a Ubuntu backport, which I assume applies the patch I mentioned previously.
Sounds like the 211 just may not be well supported yet? I’ll try a USB dongle first and if that doesn’t work consider the 210 card.
