Did you ever start the device with Windows installed? It's possible fast boot has locked that device.


Yes, I started the pc in Windows before installing Linux. I then used a usb iso to create the GPT partitions and disabled Fast Boot and Secure Boot and installed Linux. Is there any way I ...

You have loaded this driver from intel?
iwlwifi-cc-46.3cfab8da.0.tgz

if the modprobe reconfigure didnt work, then the next place I would head is to the very latest linux-firmware... but yes j2mcgreg is correct there are a lot of reports of issues with that controller.


Yes, I have downloaded ...

I notice that you are using a Liquorix 6.8.xxx kernel. Try the 6.6.12-1 instead which is known to solve a lot of wifi problems. Because it's a slightly older kernel, you will have to use Boot Options in MX Tools to set it as the default and then reboot.

https://community.intel.com/t5/Wireless/WiFi-6-problem-with-Intel-AX200-in-Linux/td-p/1577809

The gist is that card should connect fine if it is accessing a WiFi 4 (A/C) network but will fail with WiFi 6 in ...

Stevo, did you make any changes after installing MX Linux, or did the driver work straight away?

I have bought a new PC and have replaced Windows by installing MX-23.3_x64 "ahs" from a usb stick. It seems to be working fine, but unfortunately does not detect my wifi (which does work with MX Linux on my old computer). I can connect the new PC to the internet via an ethernet cable, so the wifi ...

Thanks, I thought that might be the problem. I've found a few other features in Power Manger that I could disable - everything is turned off now. If that doesn't work, I'll uninstall the Power Manager as you suggest. I'm looking forward to MX 23, but I'll have to install that when I have a bit more ...
