My hardware requires the iwlwifi nonfree firmware for working wifi. With the latest kernel version however it stopped being able to load it. The last working version is 4.9.0-7 while 4.9.0-8 does not work. Is this a bug in the kernel or am I missing something?



Edit: The 4.9.0-8 kernel has the following in kern.log which is not there for the 7 kernel:

    Since you can have both kernels installed, you can compare the relevant portions of boot logs (dmesg or /var/log/kern.log) related to wifi to see what's different across reboot. If you did, then add the relevant portions in the question.

  • added kernel log of failure

  • Well that's strange considering that changing the -7- to -8- usually at Debian just means an ABI break (<=> external modules most be recompiled), config options are almost identical. You could try upgrading firmware-iwlwifi to stretch-backports 's version, and possibly also the linux-image-amd64 (which is currently pointing there to a kernel v 4.19.12)

  • of course a bug report at debian should be considered

    Since you can have both kernels installed, you can compare the relevant portions of boot logs (dmesg or /var/log/kern.log) related to wifi to see what's different across reboot. If you did, then add the relevant portions in the question.

  • added kernel log of failure

  • Well that's strange considering that changing the -7- to -8- usually at Debian just means an ABI break (<=> external modules most be recompiled), config options are almost identical. You could try upgrading firmware-iwlwifi to stretch-backports 's version, and possibly also the linux-image-amd64 (which is currently pointing there to a kernel v 4.19.12)

  • of course a bug report at debian should be considered

    Since you can have both kernels installed, you can compare the relevant portions of boot logs (dmesg or /var/log/kern.log) related to wifi to see what's different across reboot. If you did, then add the relevant portions in the question.

  • Well that's strange considering that changing the -7- to -8- usually at Debian just means an ABI break (<=> external modules most be recompiled), config options are almost identical. You could try upgrading firmware-iwlwifi to stretch-backports 's version, and possibly also the linux-image-amd64 (which is currently pointing there to a kernel v 4.19.12)
