Description Andrés Becerra Sandoval 2020-01-28 14:34:26 UTC

With sys-kernel/gentoo-sources-5.4.14  iwlwifi-3168-29.ucode from sys-kernel/linux-firmware-20200122 loads correctly and wifi card works fine.

Comment 3 Ben Kohler gentoo-dev

Is this still reproducible if you allow all linux-firwmare to install (no savedconfig) and make iwlwifi modular so it has access to all /lib/firmware ?

This is most likely just a consequence of you hardcoding versions/filenames that are known to change over time.

Thank you for the suggestion Ben,

With USE="-savedconfig" for linux-firmware

And modular configuration for iwlwifi without hardcoding the blobs in kernel config, If I do:

modprobe iwlwifi

I get in dmesg:

It seems kernel developers are tracking the issue on:
