I am having a lot trouble with the wifi adaptor for my Lenovo X1. I just updated to Ubuntu 20.04. I had previously been running Ubuntu 18, and was able to address the issue by running:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git build-essential
git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git
cd backport-iwlwifi/
make defconfig-iwlwifi-public
sed -i 's/CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS=y/# CPTCFG_IWLMVM_VENDOR_CMDS is not set/' .config
make -j8
sudo make install
sudo modprobe iwlwifi

That however does not seem to be working in 20.04. I tried following the instructions here by downloading the ucode file from here and running:

sudo apt update
sudo apt upgrade
sudo cp ~/Downloads/iwlwifi-cc-46.3cfab8da.0/iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-cc-a0-46.ucode
sudo modprobe -r iwlmvm && sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi && sudo modprobe iwlwifi

I have rebooted etc and it is still not working. I see no wifi options in the settings panel. Following the previous suggestions for problem solving here are a few outputs:

    Do cd backport-iwlwifi/ && sudo make uninstall then reboot. If the kernel iwlwifi module doesn't work, file a bug report as what is happening is not normal – Jeremy31 May 05 '20 at 21:20
  • @Jeremy31 thanks that worked. Not sure why it was failing w the initial install! Oh well. – mmann1123 May 06 '20 at 13:33
