Bios ACPI error message on M2 Wifi card that disables wireless network

I am trying to use A8 Radxa or Intel Be200 wireless in Fedora 42 and both are blocked by the following message: ACPI failed to evaluate _DSM" messages … the driver is blocked and it appears that the card is hardware blocked with the command: rfkill- 1 wlan phy0 software unblocked hard blocked. Is there a solution to unblock?
Practically any Linux system with ACPI boot will not work with M2 wifi.
I tried with two versions of Bios.
Same phenomenon on Suse with USB wi-fi adapters.
In Suse I have an AMD GPU card with video acceleration.

Yeah, we discussed the same issue here.

I came to the conclusion that the problem is in EDK II and there is no solution especially when only one version works with windows. I created an ssd with 3 systems, two Linux and Windows 11, I can’t get it to work with normal functions, for example wifi 6ghz, hardware video playback and some games.
I’m still waiting like with rk3588 which still worked with BE200.
We use systems without ACPI, I guess it works on Device Tree
P.S. Sorry for opening a new topic.

This should be fixed in the next release: https://github.com/radxa/edk2-platforms/commit/2c8f2dc5300ff794bfaf9e5a1af91845c7c9aab0

Thank you, it’s very good and maybe Windows will work without disabling processors or the option to enable or disable A520 processors.
Another method is to isolate pins 54 and 56 from the M2 slot (CON4) by removing R2576 and R2577?

#7

The info I have indicates that Windows will only be supported with A520 disabled for now. I saw demos where A520 were enabled, but no idea when that will be available.

I had an older version of Windows 11 22H2 that was used with Rk3588 and I managed to boot it and it indicated 12 cores but it worked very poorly.
