Garfield Peak 4 trouble on TigerLake

Garfield Peak 4 trouble on TigerLake

[Ioannis Barkas]

Hello, all!

Replacement of a WLAN module at an i7 based TigerLake device resulted
in AX1690i not working under 6.19 or 7.0 kernel.

I get the following:
[    4.461487] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected crf-id 0x11219, cnv-id
0x20000302 wfpm id 0x80000000
[    4.461511] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: PCI dev a0f0/1692, rev=0x351,

[    4.461515] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Detected Killer(R) Wi-Fi 6E
AX1690i 160MHz Wireless Network Adapter (411NGW)
[    4.461910] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Direct firmware load for
iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-gf4-a0-77.ucode failed with error -2
[    4.461917] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: no suitable firmware found!
[    4.463035] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: iwlwifi-QuZ-a0-gf4-a0-77 is required

Not sure if this is a valid file but I could not locate it. Is this
expected? Also Bluetooth goes nuts.

Best regards,
Ioannis

This isn't (and never was) a supported combination. Whatever the
physical, scheduling or other reasons, your platform there (TigerLake,
released in Q3 2020) is simply not meant to use the CRF (GF4, released
in Q4 2021) you put in, and this won't ever work. Sorry.

Thank for your feedback, no worries I have AX210 as well. I just had a
boot crash/hang at Debian running 6.17 with AX210 so I tested the
AX411 card I have.

Best regards,
