Librem14 network adaptor unclaimed pureOS 10.0

[thom]

Thank you all for the guidance.

For those following along, my librem didn’t arrive with PureOS, so I wasn’t aware of the intel firmware.

I managed to locate the firmware for ‘Intel® Wireless-AC 9260’ here:

Linux* Support for Intel® Wireless Adapters

I copied the firmware to /lib/firmware/ and restarted my system to get WiFi working.

WiFi appears to work and switch off when the kill-switch is off. However, when I switch the WiFi kill-switch on, WiFi doesn’t re-enable.

‘nicole.faerber’ mentions that not all NGFF cards support the kill-switch signal.

Ability to swap out components like wifi cards?

Thank you Yes, WiFi card can be exchanged, it is a NGFF type card. I did the same for testing purposes and plugged in an Intel WiFi card which worked nicely. But depending on the card type you may also loose the WiFi kill switch feature - seems that not all NGFF cards support a kill-switch signal. And of course the firmware blob issue… you may need to add non-free repositories from Debian to the PureOS sources list and install the matching firmware package. Cheers nicole
