I recently updated Ubuntu from 20.04.1 LTS to 22.04.1 LTS and since I experience very unstable wifi connection on my Lenovo T460 with a wireless adapter Intel Wireless 8260

I have also I have a Windows 10 dual boot. fast startup is disabled.

Sometime when I startup Ubuntu, no wifi adapter is found at all. A few restarts could make it available again, with kernel 5.15.0.50 or using the previous available kernel version 5.15.0-46-generic Now it is never available.

Additional info

Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 [8086:24f3] (rev ff) Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi Kernel modules: iwlwifi

sudo dpkg -s linux-firmware | grep -i version Version: 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu3.5

sudo modprobe iwlwifi: Displays nothing

sudo dmesg | grep iwl: Displays nothing

dkms status: Displays nothing

I have tried below, as suggested in a similar issue, but it did not help

sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak

Remaining pnvm files below as been also moved to .bak files ls /usr/lib/firmware | grep -i pnvm iwlwifi-so-a0-gf4-a0.pnvm iwlwifi-so-a0-gf-a0.pnvm

Any help is welcome as I am not familiar at all with Linux driver issues

Thanks

Fast Boot, a firmware (UEFI feature, is NOT the problem. Fast Startup, a Windows feature can be. When dual-booting with Windows disabling it is a must.

So driver file is iwlwifi-8000C-13.ucode and is well present in firmware folder. But what are pnvm files?

Tried to check Wifi from Windows and now not available also from there. Bluetoth also unavailable from Ubuntu now. Maybe the Wireless card is dead? How can I ensure that?

Ok seems it was an hardware issue.

After changing adapter Intel Corporation Wireless 8260 by a brand new one (Intel Corporation Wireless 9260), Wifi and Bluetooth are now back to normal without any other config change

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.
