Intel 3165 M.2 wireless ,how to use at nano?

Robotics & Edge Computing Jetson & Embedded Systems Jetson Nano
1

i download and extract,then i cp iwlwifi-*.ucode /lib/firmware
but when i restat the nano,i can’t see the wifi icon,only wired options…

my os inf:
Linux lb-desktop 4.9.140-tegra #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Mar 13 00:32:22 PDT 2019 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

please help me.
thanks

It looks like the controller is detected and that kernel modules are loaded for it. Can you post the results of an ifconfig -a?

I don’t see it listed. It looks like even though the module is loaded, at least partially, it isn’t working. You could see if it works on x86 Linux. If it does, it’s likely architecture specific code that is the problem. Otherwise it just is too new (old?) a card and you will have to either wait for updates or build you own working kernel modules.

Edit: I had a closer look.

Where are you downloading the firmware from?

3168 is not working too, one dude is trying hard to make 9260 working at least…so far no success on wifi card besides 8265…at all.

Hello everyone,
I met the same problem. I also tried installing intel 3165 on the Jetson TX2 but it failed. I saw a lot of pcie response decoding errors in tx2 and nano. I think there should be some problems on the pcie side in L4T r32.1.
Please see my post.
https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/1055070/jetson-tx2/failed-to-install-intel-3165ngw-in-jetson-tx2-dev-kit-with-l4t-r32-1/

7

Did anyone manage to get it working? I tried setting pcie aspm to “off” by adding it to the /boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf file, my bluetooth works but wifi doesn’t. Any tips? Should I turn off the pcie aspm through a different place?

8

I have the same problem. 3165 wifi is not working, but bluetooth is working, weird

1、My image is r32.4.2，want to use AC3165 for jetson nano

2、Install corresponding driver files downloaded from Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters

Reference:How to edit kernel's command line - #5 by linuxdev

3、Add ‘pcie_aspm=off’ to the end of ‘APPEND’ line in file “/boot/extlinux/extlinux.conf” for disabling ASPM

Reference:Supported NVMe SSD on Jetson Nao - #11 by yawei.yang

4、Reboot, the AC3165 works
