Intel AX201 not working with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Not working with other fix)

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:

> Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Alder Lake-S PCH CNVi WiFi [8086:7af0] (rev 11)
    DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet
    Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:0074]
    Kernel modules: iwlwifi

ran sudo | dmesg | grep iwl and got:

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.

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

@sceptism Maybe try: `sudo apt install --reinstall linux-firmware`. Also, you are using kernel 5.13 right?

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.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
