  • Bookworm Upgrade failed for iwlwifi

    From Klaus Singvogel@21:1/5 to All on Mon Nov 18 14:20:02 2024
    Hello,

    Yesterday I upgraded my Debian Bookworm on my Thinkpad T14 Gen4 laptop.

    After rebooting I lost my wifi.

    dmesg reported that the iwlwifi module failed with ucode (-2).
    I finally fixed it by installing the iwlwifi-firmware package from bookworm-backports:
    apt install -t bookworm-backports iwlwifi-firmware

    Has anyone else seen this issue, or is it specific to me?

    Thanks in advance.

    Kind regards,
    Klaus.

    You mean
    apt install -t bookworm-backports firmware-iwlwifi

    Not easy to say without being given some information.

    Which file(s) failed to load with error -2, and what has now been
    loaded that makes wifi work?

    Cheers,
    David.
