After installing Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, in settings it says Wi-Fi adapter not found. However, bluetooth still works. My Wi-Fi card is an Intel AX200. I have installed the firmware from Intel's website (by copying it into /lib/firmware). According to the instructions, after copying the file I should load the driver which I did by doing sudo modprobe iwlwifi. Also I am running kernal 5.6.0 which is above the minimum kernal on the Intel website, and Wi-Fi works in Windows 10 (which I have in dual boot right now).

After runnning dmesg | grep iwlwifi I get the following:

[    4.126373] iwlwifi 0000:06:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    4.206832] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:0f:00.0 failed with error -110

Does anyone know how to fix this? If there is anything else I need to run please tell me. Thanks!

Update:
This is what I get when running lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3:

06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0084] (rev 1a)
        Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0084]
        Kernel modules: iwlwifi

More UPDATE!: Okay, so after turning off fast boot (in Windows) the Wi-Fi adapter is found. However, every time I connect it says Connection Failed

Last UPDATE!: Installed Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with 3rd party software enabled and it works now!

On dual boot installation (Ubuntu + Windows 10), disabling "Turn on fast startup" in Windows resolved the problem for me. It's well hidden in Windows:

  • In Power Options Windows settings
  • Select Choose what the power buttons do menu option on left
  • Click Change settings that are currently unavailable link
  • Uncheck Turn on fast startup (recommended) option
