Just installed Neptune 7.5 and I'm unable to get a working wifi. Kubuntu 22.04 works and it's identified as Intel Alder Lake-P PCH CNVi. Driver iwlwifi IF wlp0s20f3
How do I get this working in Neptune?
Please connect via LAN and make sure firmware-iwlwifi is installed
I don't have a LAN connection but I can confirm that it's installed.

It should be supported with the currentl kernel and firmware package. Can you perform the follow command to see if the driver is loaded.
lsmod |grep wifi
Also try checking the syslog for hints.
sudo dmesg
leszek Ok, so I get the following output

It seems like the firmware package is too old in Debian stable and so also in Neptune. You could try installing the newer firmware package from Debian Sid : https://packages.debian.org/sid/firmware-iwlwifi Scroll down to the All link and download the deb. Install it and try restarting the system to see if it works then.
leszek Thanks for the advice. I tested that now to know avail. So I'll wait until it's in Debian and a release of Neptune in the future.
