Hi. I'm not too familiar with Fedora. How can I verify the driver in use that makes the AX200 work?

Exactly the same way as it was described here, in this thread.

should be same as kernel you are using unless you backported your drivers which can cause trouble.

uname -r in console should give kernel version.

The current kernel is (5.18.5-200.fc36.x86_64) but it also worked with the default kernel - 5.17.5-300.fc36.x86_64.

It's using the iwlwifi driver.

iwlmei is new

OP you get your ax200 working with 5.17.5-300 or 5.18.5-200?
last I knew firmware was crashing with latest kernels but havent checked linux-wireless daily.

Hi mrapathy. It worked with both.

Thats great. I will have to try 5.18.x again on my laptop.

Tried 5.18.6 on my laptop didnt work. firmware version 68 though looked for 72/74 dont recall properly.
lots of messages from dmesg | grep iwl
dont think the firmware crashed.
Hey OP what firmware version you using? sudo dmesg | grep firmware

this is the relevant line. You need to try the same version. I think you may try to copy the file itself.
You can look for it similarly: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6356524

Thanks for the reply. I updated to latest firmware. no dice still :-(

It's extremely frustrating.

my laptops ax200 works with kernel 5.4.x and nothing else. Frustrating when it doesnt but nice when it works.

AMD and Mediatek just released a m.2 device for $30 6E wifi. though I have a intel 7265D that works flawlessly in 5ghz 867mb connection. latest and greatest would be nice as long as it works. I do have a old reliable but its 20 screws I have to remove and replace to get to m.2 slot on my laptop.

Not trolling here but try the latest slackware current.
Just upgraded the kernel to 5.18.6.
It just works.

I did nothing special but now the Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200 works in Debian 11. I have the firmware-iwlwifi (v. 20210315-3) native package and the 5.18.2-1~bpo11+1 kernel.

thanks for the info. I dont think you're trolling. hope no one considers me trolling. hijacking a little but it is relevent information for Intel AX200

I like slackware 15 and I know it has some minor issues but I dont like the current game. slackware while difficult to get software for and configure is a rock solid operating. I am getting similar stability from debian these days.

I have a desktop with builtin ax200 and it works without anything special for Debian 11.3 non free firmware and slackware 15.
my laptop has a m.2 Key E interface intel ax200 to pci and usb bus which only like kernel 5.4.x. both devices "laptop\desktop" register 0x2723, 0x0084 in pci bus.
kernel code for 5.4.x is different than other LTS and Stable kernels.

when I tried kernel 5.18.6 it was in slackware 15. didnt have iwlmei driver load and dont feel like reading source code to understand why.
get the feeling the Linux-Wireless guys are familiar with problem and working on it.

5.17.x is EOL = End Of Life. should probably go with 5.18.x
