I have tried to install 9.0 on a new Dell Precision 5520, with an Intel WiFi Link 8265 card, and failed. The missing firmware files (as reported by the installer) seem to be: iwlwifi-8265-26.ucode iwlwifi-8265-25.ucode iwlwifi-8265-24.ucode iwlwifi-8265-23.ucode iwlwifi-8265-22.ucode iwlwifi-8265-21.ucode iwlwifi-8265-20.ucode Where does this list come from?! I was able to find the 21, 22 and 27 here: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/ , but providing them to the installer on a secondary USB stick doesn't help. The missing files list just shrinks to: iwlwifi-8265-26.ucode iwlwifi-8265-25.ucode iwlwifi-8265-24.ucode iwlwifi-8265-23.ucode After several minutes and repeating this step several times I sometimes manage to get through to the next step (I can see a list of WiFi networks, for example) but then the actual mirrors do not work ("mirror does not support the specified release" error, which is a network error as the URLs work on a different machine). I am confused with this, my understanding is that every single iwlwifi-8265-*.ucode file in itself is a full Intel 8265 firmware (with the number denoting the version number). If this is not the case, then why is iwlwifi-8265-20.ucode no longer required after providing 21, 22 and 27? SF
