Thanks for confirmation. I will be submitting few zenbook patches including this wifi one upstream early next week.

Would you be interested in testing camera as well? I have a WIP Ubuntu branch here which is mostly based on Linaro’s work towards camera support on x1e, namely v7 of CAMSS series from Bryan. Its not the final state yet, but is confirmed working on XPS, Latitude and Zenbook. You could test by:

  • Compile and install from the branch
  • Get qcam via sudo apt install libcamera-tools
  • Run via sudo qcam

Its expected that:

  • You will get video with that distinct green tint (software ISP)
  • Video is upside down (qcam won’t take rotation into account, but other apps once they work will)
  • Video won’t work in browser/other apps, as it requires pipewire wireplumber integration which isn’t there yet on Ubuntu

On x1p4200 Zenbook (UX3407QA) im getting ISP crashes in dmesg, despite camera working. As you have UX3407RA I would be curious to see your dmesg, to determine if its Zenbook or x1p42100 specific issue.

EDIT: This branch should also bring up the camera on Lenovo Yoga Slim7x, Lenovo t14s, but was not yet tested.
