I think I understand what happened better now. As I described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/alsa-driver/+bug/2078800, I now use Kernel 6.8-generic, which was installed during upgrade to 24.04.01, but not used by default, that was 5.14-oem. Using the old Kernel by default meant that the available blobs might have been TOO NEW for 5.14. Then, the order of events was like that: 1. I update to 24.04.01. Wi-fi does not work. 2. I look for wi-fi centric (iwlwifi) solution. Installing v59 fixes wireless. 3. I realise that my sound does not work. 4. To fix sound, I boot into 6.8-generic ← at this point the previous fix is not needed anymore, as v77 can be loaded.
I argue that using old Kernel version by default is the root cause for both of these problems. Had 6.8 been loaded from the start, I wouldn't get this error either. Now I'm not sure which party would be appropriate for report. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2078797 Title: Update to 24.04.01 breaks iwlwifi (Intel AX201) Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I updated from 22.04 LTS to 22.04.01 LTS when offered the opportunity. All management options for Wi-Fi and BT disappeared, and I couldn't use wireless access anymore. Checking dmesg quickly shown, that no firmware blog (ucode) can be loaded in the expected version. The files .ucode.zst were there, but for not good use. I had to download the file (iwlwifi- QuZ-a0-hr-b0-59.ucode) manually from https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux- firmware.git/tree/, reload it (sudo modprobe iwlwifi), and restart my OS for wireless to be back on. I wouldn't call this update process swift. The current version of linux-firmware seems to be old (20240318.git3b128b60-0ubuntu2.2). Maybe an update would prevent this problem from occurring to more users?
