Wifi not working on Dell Inspiron 14 5000

Question

We are having trouble with a wifi card on a Dell Inspiron 14 5000.

Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS Cannot find the card.(It was working under Windows before drive ubuntu was installed) It appears to be an Intel 8086 card.

Here is a pastebin of information about the wifi on the system.

This issue is very simmilar to the problem discussed here, however the solution does not appear to work.

The output of dmesg | grep iwl is at this pastebin

The RT ucode appears to fail at loading.

Also the internet is functioning fine during install and whilst using live USB.

It is just a hunch, but I think you miss the right firmware for your Wifi card. You could try to choose appropriate and download firmware and install it as instructed:

Copy the files into the distribution-specific firmware directory, /lib/firmware.

Hey, thanks for your response but there didn't seem to be firmware for my specific card. Any suggestions? – wheresthetownswatersupply Feb 21 '20 at 23:11
