Did I miss something? I read that this Intel Wireless 8265 should be compatible straight away.

I used 2 jetson nano sd card image: jetson-nano-sd-r32.1-2019-03-18 and jetson-nano-sd-r32.2-2019-07-16. Both image are the same.

Need help… tried to search everywhere for the solution…

Tried to add the intel 8265 firmware iwlwifi-8265-ucode-22.361476.0, it still doesn’t work…

Why it does not show up in ifconfig and the wifi not listed on the Network settings?

Did you find any more clues to solve the problem?

I had same problem with my Jetson Nano and Intel wireless 8265.

I found that the Intel wireless M.2 card is not properly working in hardware perspective. (I have 9 Jetson nanos and 9 Wireless cards and the only one card is malfunctioning)

See the manufacturing information about your wireless card. There are informations about

  • TP/N
  • SPS
  • WFM

etc…

On the malfunctioning card, The SPS is written as “XXXXXXX-XXX XX”. All ‘X’ in the field.

On the other normal cards, the SPS is written as normal information such as “851594-001 0E”.

I think the malfunctioning card is not normal product. That’s the problem.

Please try with another card.
