I have a new Windows PC, a Lenovo ThinkPad P73 with nVidia RTX 5000 graphics.

As I got sick of using Windows in the first week, I had to go back to my POSIX environment, So I installed Lubuntu 18 in dual boot.

Now after booting, I am not able to connect by WiFi, as Lubuntu does not find the Intel(R) Wifi 6 model AX200 160MHz adapter with Linux support per the spec sheet.

I have searched and mostly found people providing installation of Realtek drivers.

Anybody have any suggestions?

    It is indeed a duplicate of that. The chip is supported by the iwlwifi driver shipped with kernel starting from 5.1. Since Ubuntu is not a rolling distro, you will have to wait sometime to have this kernel as the main Ubutnu kernel (the default for 18.04.3 is version 5.0-based). – dadexix86 Sep 03 '19 at 22:13
  • If you want to confirm it'll be fixed by 19.10/18.04.4, you can download the (QA-testing) daily 19.10 from http://iso.qa.ubuntu.com/qatracker/milestones/404/builds/ and write to thumb-drive and see if you get wifi there on 5.2.0-15 kernel. If installed it'll be off-topic here until 19.10's release in October, but #ubuntu+1 (the development or next release) has other support options such as IRC (navigate to Lubuntu from my prior link, more direct links will be time sensitive as it's recreated daily) – guiverc Sep 03 '19 at 23:15
