Hi,
The wireless card in my new machine (AX260) is reported to only start working with kernel 5.12, which means the stable kernel is not enough, but the kernel-latest package (now 5.16 in security-testing) should be fine.
The wireless card is handled by sys-net if it is a PCI device, or
sys-usb if it is a USB device. The kernel and kernel-latest packages
provide the kernel used in dom0, which is distinct and not relevant
here. You need to install the kernel-latest-qubes-vm package and set
the kernel of your network-providing VM appropriately.
I am wondering though where to get the appropriate firmware and modules packages from ... they appear to be only available for 5.11 in security-testing.
Kernel modules for dom0 are provided by the main kernel and
kernel-latest packages. The firmware will need to come from whichever
qube the device is attached to.
When I tried kernel-latest yesterday (it was still 5.15), booting worked just fine until the login manager GUI was supposed to come up and than the machine blacked out, which I assum to mean missing modules?
I am not sure. Do the system logs from that time show anything
interesting?
Thank you for any advise in this matter.
You are welcome.
