Description František Zatloukal 2021-10-04 10:45:02 UTC
Description of problem:
Since linux-firmware-20210919-123.fc35, the firmware files for Intel AX2XX wifi chipsets were split out into iwlax2xx-firmware subpackage. However, on upgrade from previous versions, this package doesn't get installed and as a result, the wifi is broken on devices using this wifi chipset.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
linux-firmware-20210919-123.fc35.noarch

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Upgrade linux-firmware package on laptop with Intel AX200 (or newer) wifi module

Actual results:
wifi doesn't work, iwlax2xx-firmware isn't installed.

Expected results:
wifi should work, iwlax2xx-firmware should be installed.

Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2021-10-04 10:53:41 UTC
Upgraded from F34 to F35 today and ran into this problem as well.

Comment 2 Kevin Fenzi 2021-10-04 18:09:01 UTC
Updated rawhide today and hit it. ;( 

it's particularly anoying since you have to find a wired connection to downgrade, you can't just boot a previous kernel. ;(

Comment 3 Peter Robinson 2021-10-04 18:10:51 UTC

Yes, I thought I got the upgrade process right, it's not like I'm out to make people's life difficult. I am working on it.

Comment 4 Adam Williamson 2021-10-04 18:45:11 UTC
Proposing as a Final FE - it would be a good idea to push the fix stable through the freeze tomorrow if it doesn't make it today, so people who upgrade during the freeze don't hit it.

Comment 5 Adam Williamson 2021-10-04 18:46:00 UTC
actually, on second thought, the broken update is only in -testing, so an FE is not needed.

Exactly the same issue. Installing iwlax2xx-firmware fixes the problem.

Comment 11 gjason 2021-10-05 19:53:19 UTC
I don't know if this is helpful or not, but I experienced this a little differently - when `dnf update` installed iwl7260-firmware version 1:25.30.13.0-122.fc35, dnf obsoleted & removed iwlax2xx-firmware.

Yes, the issues is now a bit different than it originally was. The build in updates-testing was changed fixing the original problem but introducing what you describe.

Comment 16 František Zatloukal 2021-10-06 12:28:01 UTC
So, all the dependency issues *should* be fixed with the latest build (that should get into -testing tomorrow).

Comment 17 Fedora Blocker Bugs Application 2021-10-06 12:29:57 UTC
Proposed as a Freeze Exception for 35-final by Fedora user frantisekz using the blocker tracking app because:

 Bunch of fw blob updates with fixes and HW enablement. Packaging errors should be fixed now, It's a good idea to get this into the GA in my opinion.

Comment 19 darrell pfeifer 2021-10-06 17:46:16 UTC
20210919-125.fc36 installs the weak dependency properly for iwlax2xx-firmware.noarch. Wireless works properly after reboot.

Comment 20 Adam Williamson 2021-10-06 17:55:45 UTC
+3 in https://pagure.io/fedora-qa/blocker-review/issue/516 , marking accepted FE. However, I'll be checking the feedback carefully before actually pulling in the update to make sure all the issues have been fixed.

Comment 23 Thomas Walker 2021-10-08 01:19:48 UTC
fwiw- I also picked linux-firmware-20210919-125.fc35.noarch (including weak dependency on iwlax2xx-firmware-20210919-125.fc35.noarch) this evening and can also confirm that the issues that I had beginning with the -123 release are fixed.

Comment 26 Ben Boeckel 2021-10-20 11:58:02 UTC
Just an FYI, that I'm also seeing this on Fedora 34 with iwl7260-firmware-25.30.13.0-125.fc34.noarch Trying to upgrade to the Fedora 35 package now…

You shouldn't, the broken version was never pushed. Do you have weak deps disabled?

Comment 28 Ben Boeckel 2021-10-20 12:01:28 UTC
Indeed, I do. Reading more closely, I see iwlax2xx-firmware is what I need; will try with that.
