recently I upgraded Ubuntu from version 18.xx to 20.xx, with the surprise that wireless and sound are not available.
Below is show the details:

# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the

# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.

NOTE: The conf file I edited commenting all lines, I read in a blog that might be a solution and at the end with no success.

I have been reading and following the Ububtu recommendations according to this Wiki article with no success.
Besides, I have read this case which is quite similar to mine and the solution was to reinstall the kernel?
No idea what does it mean, the kerner of ubuntu? the kernel of the device?
May someone of you support me in this case?
I am just considering to reinstall a previous version of UBUNTU
Thanks.
