Description Scott 2024-01-21 04:29:04 UTC 
The Wi-Fi component of the AX211 Wi-Fi/Bluetooth adapter that came with my laptop (Alienware x14) fails to initialize due to a Microcode SW Error. When this occurs, I have no Wi-Fi functionality, but Bluetooth functions properly. This is an intermittent issue that seems to self-correct occasionally and for up to a few days at a time before occurring again.

Reproducible: Couldn't Reproduce

Steps to Reproduce:
I cannot find a way to manually induce this error. It is an intermittent and seemingly random problem.
Actual Results:  
Wi-Fi adapter does not function.

Expected Results:  
Provided Wi-Fi functionality.

[  146.117891] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Microcode SW error detected. Restarting 0x0.
[  146.118013] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Start IWL Error Log Dump:
[  146.118014] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Transport status: 0x0000004A, valid: 6

Full dmesg will be attached, and I can try to provide any more information that might be helpful.

Please report versions of linux-firmware and kernel at the very minimum.
Comment 3 Scott 2024-01-21 18:16:43 UTC 
Currently on 6.6.11-200.fc39.x86_64, however this has been present since at 38 for me. I've enabled debugging logs of iwlwifi, but currently the card is functioning properly. I'll attach those when it fails again.

So when exactly does it fail then?

I can't really establish any pattern to when it does. Occasionally it will function properly for a few days and then fail for a few, sometimes a restart will fix it.
