asus laptop w/intel wifi problems
by perbh from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5AFA8)
OK - I am back again, obviously have learned not my lesson from the last time (https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ci-4175666364/)
I bought a new Asus laptop (F510UA) and did what I always do - copying a working slackware-14.2-32 and a working mx-18.3-64 from my previous asus laptop. Obviously had to change the UUIDs for booting and in /etc/fstab - otherwise it should be plug-n-play - and it was (kind-of).
MX-18.3-64 worked a treat from the very go, and Slackware was fine as well, but it would NOT recognize the wi-fi chip :-(
Unfortuneately - the wifi-chip is different this time around and it does no longer seem to use the atheros firmware. The only thing I can see loading this time is 'iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode' which is present on both systems and are exactly equal (according to 'cmp -l')
Anyways - I have copied the appropriate dmesg-bits and 'lspci -v' from both systems. I would appreciate if someone could have a quick look-see and tell me something I have overlooked.
Thank yall in advance!
By the way - my slackware has the latest .240-kernel.
