How do I install the wireless drivers in my Lenovo Legion Y540-15IRH laptop with an Intel 9th Gen. Core i7 CPU?

  • Card-1: Intel Wireless-AC 9560 (Jefferson Peak) driver: iwlwifi
  • Card-2: Realtek is fine with driver r8169 though.

Additional drivers did not show up when I searched. Is there any other driver I need to download from here?

This did not work by the way as mentioned for utils so now I have a search Windows driver that is unnecessary, would that be easy to remove?

Below is the output of commands ran asked for

Output of lspci -nnk | grep -e 0200 - e 0280 -A3:

(standard input):07:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 15)

    There is no reason to look for a driver when your own question shows, Card-1: Intel Wireless-AC 9560 (Jefferson Peak) driver: iwlwifi – Jeremy31 Jul 17 '19 at 10:31

    Please note that your wireless is hard blocked. Please see and follow the duplicate. – chili555 Jul 17 '19 at 22:32
  • Please don't edit your question to ask another question. :-( Just ask a new question instead and refer to this question with a link if it helps provide context. :-) – Fabby Jul 18 '19 at 08:17

The key document which explains the use of apt may be helpful. First, the update line tells Ubuntu to check the list of repositories and refresh its list of what's available to download.

 sudo apt update

Next, we tell Ubuntu to get any new items you have installed previously from those repositories.

 sudo apt upgrade

Now that all the current apps and dependencies are up to date, we go get the ndis tools.

 sudo apt install ndisgtk ndiswrapper-utils

Once that's done, then you can proceed with https://mxlinux.org/wiki/networking/ndiswrapper/#Installation 

Click Start menu > System > Windows Wireless Drivers   
Click on the Install New Driver button and note where you told it to save it to  
Navigate to the folder where you stored the downloaded driver folder   
Highlight the *.inf file, and click OK   
Jump to the Blacklist section below to finish.

  • I have not seen ndiswrapper work successfully in many years. moreover, it is not needed for any Intel device. Also, ndiswrapper requires Windows XP drivers which we do not have. – chili555 Jul 16 '19 at 19:16
  • true story for me, it did not work – Erikajana Jul 18 '19 at 05:56
