I'm a total Ubuntu noob. Trying to get Ubuntu installed for one of my friends cause I build PCs for fun.

He requested for Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. I'm installing Ubuntu fine but I can't seem to get the Wifi module to work.

I remember back then when I did older versions of Ubuntu, there were similar issues with the AX200 as well.

Currently, running an Intel i9-12900K + Asus B660-A Strix motherboard.

Would appreciate any help with this. Thank you!

Edit #1:

ran lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 and got:

ran sudo | dmesg | grep iwl and got:

  • Please [edit] to add the output of lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 and sudo dmesg | grep iwl – Error404 Feb 07 '22 at 09:39
  • ok done as requested! – sceptism Feb 07 '22 at 09:46
  • Is your system up to date? Try running sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade. You need a temporary Internet connection such as Ethernet or USB tethering to update. – Error404 Feb 07 '22 at 09:52
  • yup seems like it is (ran the commands). yes im currently working off an Ethernet connection so have internet – sceptism Feb 07 '22 at 09:58
  • Report a bug as the firmware version in Ubuntu's linux firmware is a higher version that what the kernel will load as it has iwlwifi-so-a0-hr-b0-64 and the highest version the kernel will accept is iwlwifi-so-a0-hr-b0-63 – Jeremy31 Feb 07 '22 at 10:12
  • how should i go about doing this? sorry im like a total noob. the Ubuntu experience i have with troubleshooting is googling forums and copy pasting code into the terminal and praying that it works haha – sceptism Feb 07 '22 at 10:14
  • What kernel are you using uname -a – Jeremy31 Feb 07 '22 at 10:35
  • @sceptism Maybe try: sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware. Also, you are using kernel 5.13 right? – Error404 Feb 07 '22 at 10:43
  • Please see: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1384412/no-network-on-ubuntu-21-10-msi-pro-z690-a-wi-fi I suggest that you install kernel version 5.15. – chili555 Feb 07 '22 at 13:47
  • yea i think it's 5.13 generic right now. ok will try to patch it up to 5.15. on a previous run i patched it to 5.16 i think but the wifi is still wonky. will try this tmr when i am with the PC – sceptism Feb 08 '22 at 13:05
  • ok an update: i updated to 5.15 generic and a new problem emerges, now even the damn wired ethernet doesnt work haha omg this is driving me insane – sceptism Feb 09 '22 at 04:17
