Hi to all, Year ago I wrote about problem with that kernels 6.5.X, 6.6.X failure with firmware loading QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.ucode, either direct loading or with included firmware in kernel("CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="i915/tgl_dmc_ver2_12.bin intel/ibt-19-0-4.sfi intel/ibt-19-0-4.ddc iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.ucode"caused kernel reboot) and that kernel 6.4.X could load firmware direct or included. Year later It is still the same, but with 6.11.X firmware for 22000 does not get loaded: -first problem from 6.5.X and up to latest 6.11.9 I can not direct load firmware QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.ucode or included, -second it does not retry to load older firmware as it was decided to bump "wifi: iwlwifi: bump min API version for Qu/So devices" "#define IWL_22000_UCODE_API_MIN 77" in kernel 6.11.X and direct loading of QuZ-a0-hr-b0-77.ucode just fail and it will abort any further loading of firmware. (it will not even try to load next working QuZ-a0-hr-b0-74.ucode) And I one would have no working wifi!!! https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20230416154301.e522ccefe354.If7628363fafeb7687163103e734206915c445197@changeid/ https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/cfg/22000.c vanilla kernel from 6.11.9 log: [ 1.903903] Intel(R) Wireless WiFi driver for Linux [ 1.904006] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 1.906832] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected crf-id 0x3617, cnv-id 0x20000302 wfpm id 0x80000000 [ 1.906890] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: PCI dev a0f0/0074, rev=0x351, rfid=0x10a100 [ 1.906891] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz ...
