Bug 205299

I have encountered this same issue when using Proxmox VE and alternating boots of Windows with Linux. 

If the Wi-Fi adapter is passed through to windows, and I shutdown in regular fashion, this error appears both on the host machine or a Linux VM. However, if I disable the WiFi adapter in Windows before shutting down, the adapter is available both in the host, or the Linux VM, if I pass it through.

All of this leads me to think that this is an issue with how Windows interacts with the WiFi adapter, possibly setting some sort of 'claim' flag on the adapter.

Hi - my scenario is as follows.  Ubuntu 20.04 (5.4.0.9-generic) on AMD Ryzen platform with backported Intel drivers following the instructions.  When I cold boot into Ubuntu, the wireless driver never works.  When I boot into Windows and then warm boot into Ubuntu, the wireless driver works.  Something seems to be wrong with the Linux drivers??  Replication of scenario is 100%...

I encountered the same issue with Intel 9260 on a dual-boot Ubuntu 18.04 and Windows 10. Disabling fast-boot in Windows solved the issue for me:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#about_dual-boot_with_windows_and_fast-boot_enabled

Disabling fast-boot in Windows also solved the issue for me. Windows 10, kernel 5.7.0 rc3 and Intel AX200 Wi-Fi adapter.

I have the exact same problem! I also debugged and figured out it was in the same function. The call to iwl_poll_bit ultimately fails, and after that the device refuses to work.

It usually happens after suspend/hibernate and resume, but I am not able to reproduce it reliably.

Isn't this a duplicate of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203709?

No, when I get this error, the device is unavailable (i.e there's no wireless device like wlan0), because device init fails.

Created attachment 293973 [details]
ftrace for iwlwifi init

ftrace that starts from the PCI probe function where the following message gets printed out: 

iwlwifi: probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -110

Well if the Windows Fast boot disable workaround is real, then this comment from the driver code might explain it "Later devices (5xxx/6xxx/1xxx) use non-volatile SRAM, and do not need to save/restore it."

If Windows writes some values to the device SRAM, and it remains after shutdown and reboot as well, it might be screwing up device state in dual boot situations. And then I wonder what happens with hibernate as well. Is there any way to just tell the drivers in both Windows and Linux to always re-init from scratch and not rely on the device state staying the same?

Further info about my system:
Linux version: 5.10.1
Firmware version: iwlwifi-cc-a0-59.ucode
Hardware: Intel Wifi AX200, embedded in an MSI x570 motherboard

I have the same situation here. This is probably because Windows somehow tries to do what MacOS does and keep waking it self up from time to time to get data from the network. Somehow there is something that keeps the card attached to that OS, and even with the boot of a new one, the card is not made available by the BIOS. Sounds not correct, but, if someone has a better explanation...

Sandy.8925 comment makes a lot of sense. So, major problem would be that Intel wifi card keeps instructions there. Should the boot process force a clean on the SRAM to make sure it gets fixed? Would this affect the normal behaviour of the card somehow? I would say that the call to ignore SRAM instructions should be the default, but I never really needed them to say they are needed.

some problem on hp microserver 10 plus with pci express wireless card with chipset intel ax200.
I run proxmox 7-debian 10 on it.

there is a fix for that?

I'm experiencing the same problem with MediaTek MT7921 wireless adapter (mt7921e) in Ubuntu 21.10.

Here's my Ask Ubuntu question:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1382918/wireless-adapter-mediatek-mt7921-is-not-working-after-a-reboot-in-ubuntu-21-10

However, in my case disabling Fast Startup in Windows didn't help. The only way that works is to Power Off the Windows completely, before cold-booting the Linux.

I'm on 5.13.19-051319-generic kernel now.

Then this bug isn't relevant to your problem, since it's specific to Intel WiFi adapter. Please file a different bug for your problem (or search for an existing one).

It looks like a *very* similar problem, however, the driver is indeed different.

I don't have enough capacity to even read the bug report instructions, not mentioning creating a bug report myself, sorry :)

Got the same issue again in Linux kernel 5.18.12, Firmware: iwlwifi-cc-a0-71.ucode

Disabling Windows Fast Startup fixed the issue for me.
