Hi,
we've got a report about the regression with the latest iwlwifi 9260
*-46.ucode that landed recently in linux-firmware tree. WiFi doesn't
work any longer on some Dell machines with that firmware. See details
in:
https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1142128
Currently we're reverting to the previously released firmware files.
Is it a known problem that has been already addressed?
If not, shall we revert the changes as a tentative workaround?
Thanks!
Takashi

Hi Takashi,
Do you have full logs of the crash? We can't see much from the log
snippet pasted in the bug report.
In any case, today or tomorrow, I'll release a new FW version for 9260,
hopefully it will solve the problem. I'll send you a link so you can
test it when I push it to our tree (which feeds linux-firmware.git).
Thanks for reporting!

Luca.

OK, I'll ask reporters. If you have a SUSE/openSUSE bugzilla account,
feel free to join there.

Good to hear. I'll create a test package once when I have the new
firmware.
Thanks!

Hello Luca,
Any updated information on this iwlwifi-9260 firmware 46 issue? Is
there bug tracker or repo I should be looking to for following the
progress on it?

I'm not sure the new BT firmware is in linux-firmware yet, since I
don't handle BT stuff. I hope it is.

I read on some forum that some commented that the "Add support for SAR
South Korea limitation" fix is needed, but it seemed weird...
Anyway, with theese on top of 5.2.7
39bd984c203e86f3 iwlwifi: mvm: don't send GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT on version
< 41
f5a47fae6aa3eb06 iwlwifi: mvm: fix version check for GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT
support
0c3d7282233c7b02 iwlwifi: Add support for SAR South Korea limitation
We have confirmation from an affected user that its now stable with both
older and newer firmwares...
And we earlier tried with only the:
39bd984c203e86f3 iwlwifi: mvm: don't send GEO_TX_POWER_LIMIT on version
< 41
But that did not help (not that I really expected it since its loading
version 46 firmwares anyway)
So my guess is that the newer firmware actually subtly expects to get
the behaviour of the:
0c3d7282233c7b02 iwlwifi: Add support for SAR South Korea limitation
Of course that's still guessing and I assume only Intel fw guys can
verify that...
