[SOLVED] iwlwifi with Kernel pve-kernel-5.3.18-3-pve issue

[Tekuno-Kage]

I'm facing an issue with the wifi, while boot on the kernel pve-kernel-5.3.18-3-pve. If I rollback to the previous kernel (pve-kernel-5.3.18-2-pve) wifi work fine again. Attach are the to boot files that I was able to retrieve.

Thanks for the assist.

@spirit @dietmar
Can you take a look at this? May be I can provide more information if need to fix the problem issue or is fix in newer kernel.

Wifi is generally not supported on Proxmox VE, so I have no experience. But I suggest you try the 5.4 kernel, maybe this helps.

Thanks for answer Tom.
understood. Anyway the wifi interface is useful as Out-Of-Band access. In my case I attach to a vrf to not conflict with the main routing where I run the VMs/LXCs. I would let you know the results of the upgrade to kernel 5.4.

Perfect. Thanks for your recommendation @tom I upgrade to version pve-kernel-5.4.24-1-pve and the device boot properly. By the way that device is a toy environment that runs on a Udoo x86. Of-course I try to run everything on LXC because the limited memory resource, but for validation and for portable development environment is great.

For documentation I just run:

apt update && apt install pve-kernel-5.4
