It’s an AMD machine, lspci sees the devices. It just can seem to initialize it, sometimes. Every now and again it just starts working if the machine was unpowered for a few days.

Intel ax211 was the first one. Ax210 had same problem, as did the ax411.

But the bug has something to do with how the motherboard initializes the devices.

They all work fine in other laptops

Even 6.9 does not have the fix yet. Seems one of the two bugs is on roadmap for 6.11

I tried 3 Different models. Seems it’s actually a motherboard issue. The same WiFi cards work fine with fedora in my laptop.

Nice! I wish my issues were limited to those fixable ones.

I have issues with sound card SPDIF not working and Bluetooth on the intel WiFi card not wanting to switch on. Both known bugs with no fixes in the pipeline.

Will need to wait for my next PC upgrade in 5 years time.

I got about 15% better minimum frame rates under Linux and only one of my recent games had issues with anti-cheat.
