Hi there! A customer opened a Case [1] with us in STS, stating they were not able to use the wireless adapter on a Zotac box to proceed with the installation of Xenial Server -- no wlanX/wlpXXX interfaces are created, although the iwlwifi module properly binds to the hardware, as seen in here:
[ 2.314279] iwlwifi 0000:01:00.0: loaded firmware version 29.1044073957.0 op_mode iwlmvm Turned out, after some digging, that a "submodule" iwlwifi would use (iwlmvm.ko) for that wireless adapter model ([8086:3165] / sub [8086:4010]) isn't available in the initrd of either netboot or the standard Xenial installer. Only the iwldvm.ko is there. Now, I have two questions regarding the availability of such module in the installer initrd: .. Is there any reason the iwldwm.ko module was included, and not iwlmvm.ko? .. If not, how feasible it would be to request that module to be added to both installer's initrd? My intention is to avoid having the customer customize the installer's initrd to include the module. Please, let me know if you need more context, or if you have any questions. Thanks!
