Title:
software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that Intel Wireless-AC
9260 device is not working
Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
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?
