Important note: this device does not have ethernet access. The ethernet controller is also listed as unclaimed, anyways.
So as in the title, my install currently doesn't give me any network options. So I ran:
$ sudo lshw -C network
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: Wi-Fi 6 AX200
vendor: Intel Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0
version: 1a
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
Following some advice on similar posts, I tried:
$ sudo modprobe -v iwlwifi
modprobe: ERROR: ../libkmod/libkkod-module.c:838 kmod_module_insert_module() could not find module by name='iwlwifi'
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'iwlwifi': Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)
I was able to run the following:
$ locate iwlwifi.ko
/usr/lib/modules/5.13.0.25-generic/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/iwlwifi.ko
Is there a way to reconnect this driver without internet?
Edit:
I noticed that my active kernel version was 5.13.0.27-generic, iwlwifi is available under 5.13.0.25-generic, but not 5.13.0.27-generic. My kernel for 5.13.0.25-generic does not have nividia-driver-470 (GTX 1070) available. Yesterday I had this crash in the middle of some work, went to bed and restarted to low resolution/broken nividia-driver-470. I'm assuming that my attempts to fix the graphics driver led to this somehow.
Digging into that problem, the most common suggestion was to remove the nvidia drivers and re-installing (which also required removing old packages, as some were not properly removed and caused an installation error).
sudo apt-get purge nvidia*
sudo apt autoremove
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:graphics-drivers
sudo apt-get update
sudo ubuntu-drivers autoinstall
sudo apt-get install --reinstall gnome-session ubuntu-desktop
I don't know for sure which kernel was active at the time, but currently 5.13.0.27 is my default on boot.
