FYI my Wifi AX210 works in with AMD PC (5800H/B550).

Okay sorry for the delay… I purchased a second NVMe drive for my laptop so that I could have a permanent Haiku install rather than having to switch back and forth. I also updated to hrev 57709. The information as previously requested is as follows:

I was also able to get a copy of the syslog via a USB stick, and it shows these messages related to the iaxwifi200:

I find the error messages about not being able to load the firmware file iwx-ty-a0-gf-a0-77 especially interesting, as if I look in the folder /system/data/firmware/iaxwifi200/ I can confirm that that file is missing, I only have these files:

~> ls /system/data/firmware/iaxwifi200/
iwx-cc-a0-63        iwx-Qu-c0-jf-b0-63    iwx-so-a0-gf4-a0-67

I can see the firware tarball from OpenBSD http://firmware.openbsd.org/firmware/7.5/iwx-firmware-20230629.tgz does contain some files named - iwx-ty-a0-gf-a0-77. Do these just need to be added to Haiku perhaps?

Thanks. Adam.

Create a new ticket for the driver. See: #18573 (iaxwifi200: could not load firmware) – Haiku (haiku-os.org)

They should already be available in the package repositories. Just run pkgman full-sync (or pkgman up intel_wifi_firmwares for just the one package.)

26

@waddlesplash Erm… wouldn’t I need Internet access to use pkgman? I tried anyway, and got these errors:

~> pkgman full-sync

Refreshing repository "Haiku" failed   0%: Server not found
Refreshing repository "HaikuPorts" failed   0%: Server not found
Nothing to do.

and also:

~> pkgman up intel_wifi_firmwares

Can you connect by cable, to download the firmwares and updates ?

28

@RogFanther Unfortunately not, there is no other Ethernet or Wifi port on the laptop. My only option is to transfer files over from another machine using a USB Stick formatted with the FAT filesystem.

29

What about USB Tethering using your phone or a USB Wifi dongle?

What about USB tethering? Most Android phones support that now, and it generally works on Haiku.

Otherwise, you’ll have to manually copy the newer package over and then install it (pkgman install filename.hpkg should still work even if there’s no internet access.)

31

I don’t have a USB Wifi dongle. I tried tethering my phone, a Google Pixel 7a, but it doesn’t appear to work. I did the following:

  1. Connect it to the laptop using USB-C cable
  2. Enable USB Tethering in the Android Settings.
  3. In Haiku, running listusb shows: 18d1:4eeb /dev/bus/usb/1/3 "Google Inc." "Pixel 7a" ver. 0510.

Is there some other settings I am meant to change in Haiku to enable it to send IP traffic via the USB tether?

32

Okay… I downloaded the package’s .hpkg file from here: https://depot.haiku-os.org/#!/pkg/intel_wifi_firmwares/haikuports/haikuports_x86_64/2023_03_06/-/-/-/1/any?bcguid=bc471-VRHK and put it on my USB stick and transferred it to my laptop with the Haiku install.

I then ran pkgman install intel_wifi_firmwares-2023_03_06-1-any.hpkg, it then said:

Refreshing repository "Haiku" failed   0%: Server not found
Refreshing repository "HaikuPorts" failed   0%: Server not found
The following changes will be made:
    in system:
        upgrade package intel_wifi_firmwares-2022_01_11-5 to 2023_03_06-1 from local file
Continue? [yes/no] (yes): yes

[system] Applying changes...
[system] Changes applied. Old activation state backed up in "state_2024-04-26_22:33:40"
[system] Cleaning up...
[system] Done.

There was no change immediately after that to the status of the Wifi card, and so I rebooted the system.

Sadly the Wifi still doesn’t work, in syslog I now see different errors like:

KERN: iaxwifi200: could not load firmware, -2147483639
KERN: iaxwifi200: failed to load init firmware
KERN: iaxwifi200: timeout waiting for master

What should I try next please?
Is it worth me perhaps trying to do something with the newer OpenBSD firmware package: iwx-firmware-20230629.tgz

33

This message happens when the firmware load event did not complete (i.e. the hardware never indicated that firmware loading completed.) Newer firmware will not fix this, I don’t think.

Does the driver work on its native OpenBSD on this hardware? If so, then this must be a Haiku problem somehow. There are some bug reports with these sorts of timeouts, but it doesn’t seem to be especially common to have hardware with this problem (it doesn’t happen for me, at least.)

Possibly something is wrong with interrupt delivery or something like that, but I wouldn’t really know where to begin with debugging that…

34

Yes, it appears to work fine in OpenBSD 7.3.

No, if the phone is compatible with our driver, it is r cognized automatically and you get an ip from dhcp. But thereare several variants ofusb tethering protocols, and not all of them are supported yet

36

See: Realtek Wifi-USB-Stick not working - Help - Haiku Community (haiku-os.org)

  • D-Link DWA 131 Wireless N USB Nano Adapter

On BeOS and Haiku, there are a few compatible USB to Ethernet/Wifi solutions.

There are a few cases where Wifi adapters either work/don’t work when loading firmware or in general on various laptops/desktops. Possibly, we can use already compatible USB-to-ethernet/wifi solution to get around this issue for many end users as an immediate workaround.
