The Intel Wireless adapter 5350 AGN does not work on Lenovo Thinkpad T500 for Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29_Beta-1.5.iso.

It also does not work for all 4.18 kernels in Fedora 28, including kernel-4.18.10-200.fc28.x86_64 and kernel-4.18.14-250.vanilla.knurd.1.fc28.x86_64, and all tested 4.18 kernels.

However, it does work with kernel-4.17.19-200.fc28.x86_64 and all previous kernels. The problem started with 4.18.

I am on a Lenovo ThinkPad T500 with an Intel 5350 AGN built in wifi adapter, running Fedora 28, and Fedora 29 beta.

The error with iwlwifi is seen in dmesg, and the device does not show up with lspci or lshw.

lshw on 4.17.19 (working) says:

I downloaded Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-29-1.2.iso (kernel 4.8.16-300.fc29.x86_64) and it has the same problem.

Comment 2 Victor Roetman 2018-11-18 20:58:15 UTC
I just tried the Ubuntu 18.10 iso image live boot, with kernel 4.18.0-10-generic, and it seems to have the same problem. So it appears to me to be an issue with the 4.18 kernel, and not specifically with Fedora.

Comment 3 Jeremy Cline 2018-12-03 17:31:12 UTC
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 29 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 29 has now been rebased to 4.19.5-300.fc29.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Comment 4 Laura Abbott 2019-04-09 20:02:31 UTC
Since this bug has not been updated since the last needinfo, I'm going to close it. Please test on the newest kernel version and reopen if the problem still exists.
