Intel Wifi 6 AX201, used in gen 2 intel e14 thinkpads (20TA)

[gr1mreaper2007]

Tested with fully updated linux mint with a 2nd gen e14 thinkpad (intel spec), on my wiiu it hangs at the "wii u menu" loading screen after syncing (not sure if it's just my wiiu). As of 11/07/24 you will have to run "sudo killall dhclient" before attempting to reconnect. Apart from that issue everything else should work fine.

Just a note, the killall dhclient thing is a temporary regression specific to the prebuilt release (see #31) and not related to the hardware. Self-compiled builds generally don't exhibit this behavior.

Despite having the same card, the program doesn't seem to detect the console after inputting the symbols; On Linux Mint 21.3 Cinnamon, here's my log after entering the code;

Same, on Linux Mint 22.3 GNOME on a ThinkPad T495 I get:

If you run sudo rfkill unblock wlan before running Vanilla, does it then work?

[yappinflower]

After running sudo rfkill unblock wlan it works! Thanks, Matt!

[itsmattkc]

Thanks for the info, the latest build should call rfkill unblock wlan automatically on connection so you don't need to do it yourself.
