Hi, I’ve been fighting with my wifi for three days. Installed few Ubuntu versions, tested oem, generic, hwe karnels new and older once.
My best guess is, that iwlwifi is looking in a wrong place for drivers:
sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi
[ 77.329816] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

[ 77.338883] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: check git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
I’ve tried to manually download files for drivers, placed them under /lib/firmware/, also tried different locations.
Seems like card is detected:
lsmod | grep iwlwifi
iwlwifi 630784 0
cfg80211 1372160 1 iwlwifi
but wifi interface is missing:
