Intel ax210 Drivers on Linux Mint 20.2
Installing Linux Mint 20.2 Edge on a new Framework laptop and the WiFi works during installation. After installing updates via the Update Manager the WiFi no longer works.
- First download the ax210 firmware from Intel’s Linux support site and cp the
.ucode
file into/lib/firmware
. - Rename
/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm
to/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.bak
and reboot.
If I didn’t do step 2 then the new .ucode
file wouldn’t get loaded.
