BionicPup64 8.0 On new LG Gram- cannot connect to Wifi

[dbabits]

trying to use BionicPup64 8.0 on: https://www.lg.com/us/support/product/l ... N-R.AAC8U1

Can't connect to Wifi.
The comp seems to have:

Intel(R) Wi-Fi 6 AX201 160MHz
PCI bus 0, device 20, function 3

PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_34F0&SUBSYS_00748086&REV_30
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_34F0&SUBSYS_00748086
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_34F0&CC_028000
PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_34F0&CC_0280

Tried using all 3 tools for configuring the interface.
Also, could not find .inf file under windows\system32\drivers to use the wrapper.
Please let me know if any other info is needed.

Can we see the output here:

Code: Select all

lspci -nn | grep Network

That's a recent card. Quick loop around the web suggests you should swap up to a 5.3+ kernel.

One of the 5.4's here >> https://www.mediafire.com/folder/21fyvbi4xglau/kernels

You're gonna need updated firmware as well:

Semme, thanks for the links.
The filesystem on the USB drive is mounted read-only, as iso9660, preventing me from following instruction how to swap kernel.

And Windows doesn't recognize the drive.
Still, I understand I need to read up on it an, d advance my skills in this space.
So, will come back to this project then.
Thanks again.

The filesystem on the USB drive is mounted read-only, as iso9660

let me guess. You used Etcher installer.
It installed to the USB making it work like a live CD.
iso9660 is a CD format.

Need to re-partition and format the USB drive and start over.
Use fat32 format.
I am not sure if Windows disk manager can do it.
Getting a USB back to normal format from iso9660 can be tricky.
I can tell you how using Bionicpup64 8.0, but it has to be booted from some other drive.
The drive to be partitioned and formatted can not be in use

You need to do the Bionicpup64 8.0 install using a USB installer that will use a normal read/write format.
Usually they want fat32 format on the USB drive.

With Bionicpup64 on a read/write format.
It is easy to make changes.

Etcher?

As for stick installers, bigpup and I disagree about the users first choice.

I'll keep mine on the back-burner unless any of the above don't pan out.

As for wifi, my kernel / firmware advice still stands.

Get your stick sorted and we'll hook you up.

Semme,

Which USB installer do you like to suggest?
