Hello,
I have just purchased an asus PCE-AC55BT wireless network card, and I can not
for the life of me get it to work. The specs are:
lshw -c network
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: Wireless 8260
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: 3a
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:fdefe000-fdefffff
lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 [8086:24f3]
(rev 3a)
Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260 [8086:0010]
What I have done is:
copied iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode to /lib/firmware/
I have the following in the .config file for the kernel:
CONFIG_WIRELESS=y
CONFIG_WEXT_CORE=y
CONFIG_WEXT_PROC=y
CONFIG_CFG80211=y
# CONFIG_NL80211_TESTMODE is not set

This is the first time that I have configured a wireless network card on blfs,
and I have no idea what I have missed. Please note that this is on a system
running systemd with a 5.0.17 kernel.
Regards,
Christopher.
