Iaxwifi200/0 - Device recognized, but no networks found

Help

Hi there!
I’m very new to Haiku (I just found out about it yesterday), and decided to check it out. I installed it on my Thinkpad T430, and almost everything worked out of the box, except Ethernet (which was buggy) and WiFi (which doesn’t show any networks). I was able to do a full system upgrade (which fixed the Ethernet), run the install-wifi-firmwares script, and install the Intel wifi firmware manually. None of this worked. In both the termin and in the Network settings, the device shows, but it doesn’t detect any networks. What am I doing wrong?

Forgot to mention Bluetooth (which is managed by the same card) also shows, but when attempting to scan for devices, only shows one device. It is unable to get this device’s name. It was unable to detect my bluetooth mouse

Bluetooth is not supported. (IIRC you can pair but not much else)
Try doing a software update in the Terminal with pkgman full-sync or switching to a nightly build.

Use nightly build.

I said I already attempted doing a full-sync, I can try a nightly build tho

Check your wifi device ID on the list of supported.

Definitely looks like it’s on there

It would be better to report such issues to bugtracker https://dev.haiku-os.org/ , not forum. Testing Haiku nighlies and reporting problems is definitely welcomed. If you have hardware-info and syslog it is good to put this on the bugtracker.

I might try that, since the research I’ve done shows that this card should work. I tried a nightly, did a full systwm upgrade, manually installed the firmwares, and it still didn’t work

Installing firmwares will not help with any card except very old ones from the late 1990s and early 2000s. For everything else, the manufactures have fixed their licenses and we are allowed to ship the firmwares already installed.

So, yes, the next step is to make a bugreport and provide detailed information (the identifier of the network card as shown in listdev, and a copy of /var/log/syslog)
