Solution 1

The package backport-iwlwifi-dkms from the PPA canonical-hwe-team/pc-oem-dkms works for both kernel versions 4.15 and 5.0, the current HWE kernel. However, you need to install the package while running kernel 4.15. With kernel 5.0, you get an error during the package installation.

After the package has been successfully installed, just reboot your system, and your wifi should be working.

Solution 2

Because you have already updated your kernel, here is another option for you.

You can try the linux-oem-osp1 kernel and update linux-firmware to the latest version. This kernel is for certified OEM machines, based on 19.04's 5.0 kernel, AX200 support has been backported. I recommend this method because the packages are officially supported.

$ sudo apt install linux-oem-osp1 linux-firmware

Alternatively, for those who want to stick with the default 4.15 kernel in 18.04, you can use simply install backport-iwlwifi-dkms from Ubuntu archive:

$ sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms

The backport-iwlwifi-dkms package used to be in the canonical-hwe-team/pc-oem-dkms PPA, but now it's available in the standard Ubuntu archive, saving you the trouble of adding a PPA.

Please refers to this post: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/518571/locating-drivers-for-intel-ax200-wireless-on-5-1-kernel

The author received a response from Intel. The driver itself has not made it into the kernel, therefore they suggested using their backport driver (which has now made wi-fi accessible on my laptop [mid-2019 Razer Blade])

Solution 4

Just upgrade to the latest Linux Kernel, >5.1, and use the latest firmware for the Wireless adapter: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html

If you don't mind installing a new operating system, start with Ubuntu 19.10 daily build which has the latest Linux Kernel and firmware. It works out of the box: http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/

Solution 5

Here are the Canadian Instructions:

You can install any kernel you want in Ubuntu:

How to update kernel to the latest mainline version without any Distro-upgrade?

without having to upgrade your desktop (eg 16.04 -> 18.04 -> 19.04) in order to get a new kernel version. Upgrading your desktop can result in operations loss (won't boot), in a steep learning curve and loss of functionality (but usually offset by gains in new functionality). Backups are strongly recommended when upgrading desktop. So you should plan carefully if all you want is a new kernel. Upgrading just a kernel (and keeping desktop) doesn't require a backup because the old kernel is still there to boot from.

@lolo I had a similar problem with two of my new laptops and they both got resolved after just upgrading the Kernel to 5.2. Make sure the Kernel is actually > 5.1: uname -a

This worked for me. I downloaded and install the 5.1.1 kernel: kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v5.1.1 and then I downloaded and installed the wireless adapter firmware into /lib/firmware/ : wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi/…

Could you please guide me on how to install the backport driver? I saw there is an instruction under "How to install the driver" section in this page. But, is that for a specific Intel Wifi 6 AX200 device?

Did you encounter the SSL error: ... similar to that in this post? I tried following the guide here but couldn't sudo make install successfully.

This totally did the trick for my HP Pavillion 15 - cs3073cl. Nothing else did. Backports did not work. Also before running the above step I enabled NVIDIA drivers: cyberciti.biz/faq/… Turned off nomodeset in the grub startup and installed intel-microcode (not sure if that helped or hurt)

This worked with my Ubunto 18.04 + ASUS PCE AX3000 card w/ Intel AX200 chipset. Thank you.

backport-iwlwifi-dkms seems to be buggy for my Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX200 on Ubuntu 20.04. It works but it introduces considerable lags. For example, whenever I open a webpage I have to wait for about 2 seconds until it starts loading.

Thank you!! I am on a recent Linux (5.15) and had the same symptom: Intel AX200 and bluetooth showing up but not wifi. Turns out it was because fast startup was enabled in Windows.
