Description updated to reflect that this issue is not specific to a particular Intel wireless card. A number of different cards are concerned.
** Summary changed: - software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that Intel Wireless-AC 9260 device is not working + software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that certain Intel wireless adapter cards are not working ** Description changed: On Ubuntu 20.04 (development branch), as of today, Additional Drivers (software-properties-gtk 0.98.6) reports that the device "Intel Corporation: Wireless-AC 9260" is not working, and suggests using a manually installed driver (cf. screenshot). However the device is working correctly: * lsmod | grep iwlwifi, lspci -v, lshw, dmesg | grep iwlwifi all show that its driver iwlwifi is in use * ls /lib/firmware/*9260* show that the appropriate firmware files - are present + are present And I am indeed writing this bug report connected to an ac (5 GHz) wifi network, where I can verify a ~130-160 Mbps download speed, so software- properties-gtk shouldn't report the device as not working and suggest manually installing a driver.
