Description of problem:

On a new laptop with Fedora 27, after some of the kernel updates in the last month, Intel Corporation Wireless 8265 / 8275 (rev 78) wifi stop working.

Comment 2 daniel 2018-05-08 08:09:28 UTC
workaround for me:
- follow https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi
  - download driver for your cared and unpack
  - # cp iwlwifi-*.ucode /lib/firmware  
  - reboot
  -  wifi is back

I had the same issue when updating to kernel 4.16.12-300.fc28.x86_64, your work around resolved the issue for now.

Comment 4 lorenzo bianconi 2018-06-06 08:15:15 UTC
Please try to install linux-firmware-20180525-85.git7518922b.fc28.noarch.rpm

Comment 5 Konrad Paumann 2018-06-19 08:04:05 UTC
I have above linux-firmware version installed but the iwlwifi stopped working after the kernel update.
Resolved it with Daniels workaround.

Comment 6 Ben Cotton 2018-11-27 15:02:10 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases
that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as
EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version' of '27'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 27 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 7 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 22:08:08 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.

Comment 8 Attila Fazekas 2019-04-08 15:08:13 UTC
Fedora 29:

[  177.852428] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: no suitable firmware found!
[  177.852429] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: minimum version required: iwlwifi-8265-22

iwl7260-firmware package has related firmwares,
but totally not intuitive to search 8265-36 firmware in 7260 .

The way to figure it out was:
dnf install /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode

Please add 8265 at least to the description of the 7260 package (make 8265 dnf searchable) or move it to a different package.

Comment 9 Bartłomiej Garbiec 2019-08-11 22:02:57 UTC
Also had that problem in F30, but I am not sure if it wasn't because of installing and then removing @cinnamon-desktop-environment.

Installing "iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode" (by dnf) from "linux-firmware-20190717.tar.gz" downloaded from that given git site solved problem for now.

Comment 10 jakub.dybczak 2019-08-16 22:02:07 UTC
I had same problem as @Bartłomiej Garbiec after installing and removing deepin-desktop.

Solved by cloning linux-firmware.git repo and invoking:

sudo cp iwlwifi-7265D-29.ucode /lib/firmware

Comment 11 Esteban Manchado Velázquez 2019-10-21 10:50:56 UTC
For the record, it just happened to me in a brand new ThinkPad T480s. The solution in comment 8 ("dnf install /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode") worked fine.

Sorry, I forgot to specify this is Fedora 30.

Also, looking at logs, I remembered that the Wi-Fi *did* work the first day, and then it didn't work a couple of days after. So maybe it was something I did, after all. I don't know anymore. So take that with a grain of salt.

Comment 14 Esteban Manchado Velázquez 2019-10-21 11:59:04 UTC
Hey, sorry for the spam. I kept on digging, and I found the relevant log lines from Friday (the day in which the Wi-Fi didn't work). This might help explain and debug the issue:

This is in comparison to today, when it did work (the dnf command I tried this morning, which I claimed in comment 11 that fixed the issue, was probably a no-op because the package was already installed):

It appears this bug was missed in the EOL closure for F27 on 2018-11-30. If this bug still exists on supported versions, please reopen and update the version. If you cannot update the version, please needinfo the assignee.
