I'm getting the same error but with the recent kernel version 5.16.9, and the workaround of renaming the .pnvm file does not work. I can see from the dmesg log that it tries loading the -67.ucode firmware (which gives the same timeout error reported by others; see below), and I've tried renaming every version after -59 as well as the .pnvm file to force it to use the -59 firmware (which is the version Intel provides on their website), but I still get the timeout error in dmesg:
> Timeout waiting for PNVM load! > Failed to start RT ucode: -110 Note: I *did* get this working by downgrading the kernel to 5.11 and renaming the .pnvm file, but I don't want to be stuck on such an old kernel. I was expecting everything to "just work" after I upgraded to the 5.16 kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1922406 Title: Intel AX210 Wi-Fi card does not work since updating to 1.196 Status in Linux: In Progress Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Running 21.04, updated daily.
