Please check this link for issue details - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2443894&p=13959817&posted=1 Host machine - Dell Inspiron 7559, multiboot. Details: - Kernel version(`uname -r`): 5.4.0-31-generic - OS: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS Desktop - Wifi card - Intel 3165AC + BT4.2 [802.11ac + Bluetooth 4.2, Dual Band 2. 4&5 GHz, 1x1] @osomon(Olivier Tilloy): Will the fix of this bug: 1) allow to use some of manual installed compatible(non-trigerring "...not working" message) driver*? Or 2) just enable "Apply changes" button(see this screen for details - https://imgur.com/7ILFptF and the issue - https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2443894&p=13959817&posted=1)? *eg: of different from default shipped driver version due to some relatively-old-hardware. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to ubuntu-drivers-common in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1859308 Title: software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that certain Intel wireless adapter cards are not working Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in ubuntu-drivers-common source package in Groovy: Confirmed Bug description: On Ubuntu 20.04 (development branch), as of today, Additional Drivers (software-properties-gtk 0.98.6) reports that the device "Intel Corporation: Wireless-AC 9260" is not working, and suggests using a manually installed driver (cf. screenshot). However the device is working correctly: * lsmod | grep iwlwifi, lspci -v, lshw, dmesg | grep iwlwifi all show that its driver iwlwifi is in use * ls /lib/firmware/*9260* show that the appropriate firmware files are present And I am indeed writing this bug report connected to an ac (5 GHz) wifi network, where I can verify a ~130-160 Mbps download speed, so software-properties-gtk shouldn't report the device as not working and suggest manually installing a driver. Not sure why it says so?
