Hi, does anyone know how to get a AX500-DBS WIFI adapter running under QubesOS 4.1?
I also tried it with kernel-latest - the system does not seem to recognize the adapter.
Check your grub boot parameters. There is a chance that they may need editing.
Hi alzer89,
could you please elaborate? Because right now your answer to my question ("…does anyone know how to get a AX500-DBS WIFI adapter running…") does not do the trick…

Yes. It was late at night, and I was tired. My bad…
Try this in a dom0 terminal:
qvm-prefs sys-net kernelopts ‘nopat iommu=soft swiotlb=8192 iwlwifi.disable_rxq=1’
There is a possibility that your kernelopts in sys-net

Thank you, will try to give it a shot. Do you know some documentation about kernelopts and how to use them? I was only playing around with it when I upgraded whonix - according to the documentation…
Depending on how deep you want to go down the rabbithole, I have two.
Option A
Light reading, but you won’t understand how or why it works:

Option B
Full-blown deep dive, and you’ll understand the reasons how and why it works, and maybe even find a better way to do it (and hopefully contribute back):

The choice is up to you
Hi, it did not work - I can allocate the wifi-adapter to the net-vm but the net-vm does not privide wifi…my work around for the time being is using a wifi-dongle…
That’s very curious.
Just to check, you’re running the latest version of the kernel in sys-net
, right?
Also, these might be helpful (emphasis on might):

They’re a bit old, but still relevant…
Yep I do 4.1 kernel-latest, never had an issue with other wifi-adapters…
Template (fedora-34) is updated too…running 5.14…
