Change driver in use?

SeftieAgain · June 9, 2022, 1:57pm

Hello! i am having trouble with my wifi and i think it may be because i have the wrong drivers active

lspci -v gives:

00:14.3 Network controller: Intel Corporation Cannon Point-LP CNVi [Wireless-AC] (rev 30)
	Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 0034
	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
	Memory at 404ac10000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
	Capabilities: <access denied>
	Kernel driver in use: pciback
	Kernel modules: iwlwifi

As you can see it uses pciback and not iwlwifi, how can i change this?

^ this was because i looked in dom0, It looks fine in sys-net. Altough that only means the problem is elsewhere

Here is the output of iwconfig:

lo no wireless extensions.

ens6 no wireless extensions.

vif16.0 no wireless extensions.

My wireless network worked (almost) fine yesterday, and I do not know what changed. I reinstalled the system and that haven’t made a difference at all

If i click on the network icon in the top right I can no longer see any wireless networks, only Wired ones.

I have been at this for many hours reading others wifi problems and I just can’t figure it out. Any and all help is very much appreciated.

tzwcfq · June 9, 2022, 3:54pm

Is that lspci -v output from dom0? What’s the output from sys-net then?

SeftieAgain · June 9, 2022, 3:59pm

well shit, in sys-net it has iwlwifi. but when i do iwconfig I get:

lo no wireless extensions.

ens6 no wireless extensions.

vif16.0 no wireless extensions.

What could be the cause for this?

tzwcfq · June 9, 2022, 4:15pm

Check the output of this command in sys-net:
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

If you’re saying that it worked before then you can try to add permissive flag and if it still won’t work then try to also add no-strict-reset option:

SeftieAgain · June 9, 2022, 5:36pm

it worked on one of two networks that i tried. It could connect to my phones bluetooth but not my home network. I have already enabled no struct reset but i havent tried permissive. Is it better with only permissive instead of no strict reset?

Also I disabled LAN and WAN in my devices settings in bios, booted, enabled them again, booted once more and now it works somehow.

Thank you for all the help tzwcfq, I couldn’t have solved this without you!

tzwcfq · June 9, 2022, 6:08pm

It looks to me that no-strict-reset will pose less security concern that permissive option in the case of network device.
You can read more about these options here:

Also if it will work without these options then it’d be better else try:

Both permissive and no-strict-reset options may not be necessary and you should try one first, then the other, before using both.
