dmesg

I do have Intel ax200 adapter.
I'm forced to use kernel 4.9 on Jetson Nano device, so I had to use iwlwifi backport.
Once iwlwifi backport installed it breaks all my other wifi adapter drivers, except Tp-Link one.
Please fix it or advice how to fix it.

This fundamentally cannot be solved - you have to install all wifi drivers that you want to use from backports.

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.
rtl8812au and mt7601u drivers are not available as a backports.
Do I understand correctly, the only way to make it work is fixing source of rtl8812au and mt7601u drivers?
Comment 3 Johannes Berg 2019-11-19 14:48:25 UTC
They're non-upstream drivers? I have no idea, sorry. Maybe.

I do have source code for rtl8812au and mt7601u drivers, I can compile them and they works fine. But once I install iwlwifi backport all other drivers stops to work with dmesg that I sent already.
When I remove iwlwifi backport other drivers starting to work again, so I decided maybe it is iwlwifi bug.
Comment 5 Johannes Berg 2019-11-20 08:06:52 UTC
No, it's a consequence of backports shipping a cfg80211 module, and the other drivers going against the kernel version of it, which are different ...

don't see a good way to solve this
