Re: Cannot configure wi-fi card

2022-05-28 Thread Fabrizio Francione
there are three engineers on a road trip: one is mechanical the other 
electronic and the last a systems engineer .


The car suddenly breaks down. The mechanical one jumps out of the car, 
exclaiming " it's going to be an engine problem! "


...but the engine works properly. Then comes the electronic one with " 
definitely a short circuit! "


...but the electrical system is fine .

the systems engineer : "I found the problem ! everybody out of the car 
and back inside."



:-) ...Really without logs and debugs the problem can be far away from a 
mere hardware detach...

Hello.

I finally solved the problem.
I just detach and re-attach the wifi card physically and it worked.


First, I updated BIOS and nothing changed.
Then I made several changes to BIOS configuration.
I found that I've installed for legacy BIOS and MBR.
So I reinstalled OpenBSD for UEFI and GPT.
But the problem was not solved.

And at this morning, I recalled that I could use this wifi from Linux.
So I tried to boot from Linux live USB(Debian), and encountered a
similar problem of iwlwifi with error code -110.
I googled for this problem and found an article:
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=205299
It implies that the problem has something to do with Windows.
Actually I installed Windows on this machine and my sister used it
until I installed OpenBSD last week.
I wondered if I could reset some configuration on the wifi card
made by Windows by disconnecting it from the motherboard.
And this worked for me.


Anyway, thanks a lot everyone.

Are You installing on a VM like Proxmox  or is that a dedicated HW?

Do you have a dual boot or related?

Thank you for your reply.


Did you install the iwm firmware?

I can connect to the Internet via Ethernet, and iwm firmware was
installed by fw_update at the first boot.
There is firmware files in /etc/firmware:
