No Wi-Fi Adapter found on Ubuntu 22.04 on Alienware M15 R17

id flag

I've just bought an Alienware M15 R7 and installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it and Wi-Fi is not working. I tried to follow multiple solutions, but none of them worked for me.

I'm getting the message.

I've tried the following solutions:

  1. rfkill unblock all;
  2. sudo apt-get reinstall network-manager;
  3. ubuntu-20-04-no-wifi-adapter-found-dell

Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks!

a wireless usb adapter should do the trick

@Jeremy31 I've added it!

I would like to use the existing wireless adapter, once it's a notebook.

I think @Jeremy31 meant to ask for: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

I would be very surprised to find that you actually needed backport. I also suspect that backport is not compatible with your 5.17 kernel version. I suggest that you do: `sudo apt purge backport-iwlwifi-dkms` Reboot and show us a new version of: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl`

Is this 5.17 kernel actually a 5.17 OEM kernel?

Guys I had the same issue, the same versions and the fully equal problem I have solved this like this: (updated my kernel from 6.2 to 6.4 and wifi works fine now) https://linux.how2shout.com/how-to-change-default-kernel-in-ubuntu-22-04-20-04-lts/
I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
