Today I received my GPD Pocket 3. It came preinstalled with Windows 11. The device looks great. I Installed Kubuntu 22.04 in dual boot (It is the first time, I have a dual boot device since winXP, but this form factor often has compatibility issues with linux, so I kept Windows as a backup).

Wifi is not working (yet), and this is where I would appreciate your help.

sudo lshw -C network

  *-network
       vendor: Intel Corporation
       product: Wi-Fi 6 AX210/AX211/AX411 160MHz
       physical id: 0
       bus info: pci@0000:ae:00.0
       version: 1a
       width: 64 bits
       description: Network controller
       clock: 33MHz
       capabilities: pm msi pciexpress msix bus_master cap_list
       configuration: driver=iwlwifi latency=0
       resources: irq:18 memory:88400000-88403fff

lsmod | grep iwlwifi 

iwlwifi               446464  1 iwlmvm
cfg80211              962560  3 iwlmvm,iwlwifi,mac80211

sudo iwconfig

lo        no wireless extensions.

enp175s0  no wireless extensions.

The device does not show up in rfkill. Wifi does work in Windows 11, after installing the driver from here.

Running

sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm  /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak

as suggested in this answer, does not change anything. I would prefer not to change the kernel.

  • Please add the following commands output to your original post: `sudo journalctl -b -k | grep firmware` and maybe ' uname -v` (I don't know which kernel Kubuntu 22 is using; 5.17 ?) and `modinfo iwlwifi | grep firmware`. It is very possible that you have to install firmware for your card. Did you install the iwlwifi package? – abu_bua Apr 29 '22 at 15:14
  • Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` – chili555 Apr 29 '22 at 15:20
  • @abu_bua Thank you. Strangely after updating on windows 11, I got wifi on Ubuntu too...Is this logical? – Bruni Apr 29 '22 at 15:22
  • @chili Thank you. Strangely the problem went away after updating on windows...Any ideas why? – Bruni Apr 29 '22 at 15:22

    Is Fast Boot a possible issue? https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#about_dual-boot_with_windows_and_fast-boot_enabled – chili555 Apr 29 '22 at 15:43
  • @chili555 might be, will search that feature on windows on the WE and see. I really have not used windows on bare metal for some time now. My year of the linux desktop was 2007... – Bruni Apr 29 '22 at 15:45
  • Since Windows 8 the Fast Startup feature has been creating many issues when dual-booting, reason why I often say that disabling in the context of dual-booting is a MUST. – ChanganAuto Apr 29 '22 at 16:11
