Describe the issue you are experiencing

I am trying to get Intel BE200 working. Out of the box it does not work, as HAOS packs outdated firmware. Trying to update firmware using workaround #2225 does not work either, as it seems that /mnt/data/supervisor/firmware is mounted way too late, after iwlwifi is already loaded with an error.

# dmesg | grep iwl

#

if after boot finished, in console I do

#rmmod iwlwifi
#modprobe iwlwifi

then module will load firmware and I get working interface. And then dmesg will show proper load.

# dmesg | grep iwl

#

so, workaround #2225 is only half-working. Suitable only for firmware loading at later stages.

so, we need either to mount /mnt/data very early in boot (but still unlikely to be good enough) or find a way to inject firmware to initrd or, ideally, have consistency between kernel modules and firmware versions :)

What operating system image do you use?

generic-x86-64 (Generic UEFI capable x86-64 systems)

What version of Home Assistant Operating System is installed?

13.2

Did the problem occur after upgrading the Operating System?

No

Hardware details

QEMU/KVM 9.0.2
PCI (WLAN) and USB(BT) passthrough for BE200

Steps to reproduce the issue

  1. Install Intel BE200 adapter
  2. Create (if missing) /mnt/data/supervisor/firmware
  3. Put iwlwifi-gl-c0-fm-c0* files from fresh linux-firmware git
  4. Boot
    ...

Anything in the Supervisor logs that might be useful for us?

irrelevant

Anything in the Host logs that might be useful for us?

relevant part of dmesg

# dmesg | grep iwl
