This is an extreme solution. You can compile the iwlwifi debug firmware from Intel's source code, but this requires signing tools and a deep understanding of the kernel build system. This method is for regular users. Stick to Methods 2 or 3.

It is worth noting what error -2 means in the Linux kernel. Error codes are negative numbers: firmware failed to load iwl-debug-yoyo.bin

Open your terminal and create a new file in the modprobe directory: sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf Add the disable flag: Type the following line into the file: options iwlwifi enable_ini=N (Note: some systems may use enable_ini=0 Apply and Reboot: This is an extreme solution
