Hello, all.
I've done a fresh install of Proxmox 5.1 on a new NUC 7CJYH and don't see the AC-9462 wireless in lspci at all. Any ideas whan I need to do to enable that device. I handles both Wifi and Bluetooth, and I'd like to at a minimum get Wifi working.

Thanks.

Hi,

Intel wireless driver are property, so you have to enable the non-free repository.

When I try to follow the steps here, it tells me that it needs to remove the following packages in order to install firmware-iwlwifi:
Code: 
1)     proxmox-ve [5.2-2 (now, stable)]
2)     pve-firmware [2.0-4 (now, stable)]
3)     pve-kernel-4.15 [5.2-1 (now, stable)]
I assume that this would break the proxmox install, so I will need to find another way to install the proper drivers to get wifi working.
 
Hey, @Taylor Murphy

have you managed to do anything about it? Similar NUC here, with the same wifi card. After adding the "non-free" to the repository list, I've updated the "pve-firmware" package (haven't installed "firmware-iwlwifi" package) and the adapter showed up. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to do anything further with it. It's down and stays down whatever I try to do. I'm a total noob, so that wasn't much up till now.

The relevant part of the lspci -k output:
Code: 
0:0c.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Device 31dc (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device 02a4
        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

The dmesg | grep -e iwl -e wlp output:
Code:

The ip a output:

    inet6 fe80::xxxxxxxx:xxxx:xxxx/64 scope link
       valid_lft forever preferred_lft forever

Going with the "conflict" listed in the last line of dmesg output, first I've tried a suggestion I found somewhere -
Code: 
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi lar_disable=Y
, but got
Code: 
modprobe: FATAL: Module iwlwifi is in use.
; then I've tried puting
Code: 
options iwlwifi lar_disable=Y
in /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf and rebooting, but still no luck with the ip link set wlo2 up command.
 
I have exactly the same problem with "apt-get install firmware-iwlwifi" from non-free debian repository.
It conflicts with pve-firmware and I can't go on. I need to use the bluetooth device in the nuc for a project.
There is a way to install non-free firmwares using pve-firmware package?

You can't install any packages what conflict with pve-firmware.

The only way is to extract the files and copy them manually.

This is exactly what I want to achieve.
I have identified the firmware files for Intel Bluetooth but I can't copy them in /lib/firmware (it is mounted read only)
What is the correct way to add firmware files manually?
 
Download the firmware deb.
extract the deb with "ar".
extract the data.tar
copy the content. The structure is in the data tar.
 
Nice, but the content must be copied in /lib/firmware which is read only:

Code:

You have to be root to write in this dir.

Sure I am root but when I copy files in /lib/firmware seems to not persist after reboot.

They really should. What could be misleading here ist that usually the needed firmware is copied into the initramfs - and if you modify the directory and don't update your initramfs - it won't contain the firmwares.

Usually running `update-initramfs -k all -u` is enough to resolve this.

Hope this helps!

I think this was the missing information for me.
I will try in the evening and report back.
 
Perfect, bluetooth firmware now loads:

Code: 
[   67.617090] Bluetooth: hci0: Found device firmware: intel/ibt-17-16-1.sfi
[   69.297142] Bluetooth: hci0: Found Intel DDC parameters: intel/ibt-17-16-1.ddc
 
I'm struggling to get Bluetooth working with my NUC8I3BEH. I've tried the steps listed here:

1. Download the Intel drivers
2. Extract the data tar file
3. Place all the drivers in the /lib/firmware directory
4. Reboot

This is what I get when I check for Bluetooth:

dmesg | grep -i blue

Any suggestions?

Sorry if my formatting is messed up. First post here

You are missing the most important step just before reboot:

Ok so I feel like Ive made a little progress, but still no luck. From my original post i was able to download the ibt-17-16-1.sfi and ibt-17-16-1.dcc files and place them in /lib/firmware/intel, but now this is the message I get:

Ok I was able to get bluetooth up and running. When I went to move the contents of the firmware directory it didn't move the intel directory over just the contents of the firmware directory. Now I am trying to pass the BT through to a VM and when i run hciconfig -a on the host it shows it as USB so I pass the corresponding USB ID to the VM (Debian Stretch), when I run hcitool dev in VM console I get no device.
 
Hi all

I know this thread is old...

Anyone succeded in Wireless AC9560 to work in Proxmox ? (sorry for my english)

I have an Intel NUC nuc8i3beh

How can I check if it works?

I'm trying to install this LXC container that has as prerequisite that the Wifi adapter works, and I'm getting error when trying to install it.

Any suggestion?

Thanks
