Edit The answer provided by chili555 solved the issue and the wifi adapter now works

I'm trying to get Wifi working on an Intel NUC 13 with a Wi-Fi 6E AX1690i, 802.11ax card but it doesn't seem to be recognised. I've tried upgrading to kernel 6.2.0 with no luck.

~sudo dmesg | grep iw
[    3.014195] iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    3.016297] iwlwifi: No config found for PCI dev 7af0/1692, rev=0x430, rfid=0x3010d000
[    3.016317] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22

~lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3
00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:7af0] (rev 11)
    Subsystem: Rivet Networks Device [1a56:1692]
    Kernel modules: iwlwifi
00:15.0 Serial bus controller [0c80]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:7acc] (rev 11)

~rfkill list all
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

Wifi works fine in Windows and it appears the card should be supported. I'm kind of at a loss about what to try next. Any suggestions would be super helpful.

Thanks for the confirmation. I suspect this will help others with this new device.

My Intel NUC 13 works _much_ better after upgrading from 22.04 to 23.04. Notably: displays, hdmi audio, wifi.

Your device is very new and is not yet covered in the current version of the driver iwlwifi. I suggest that we try a highly experimental process.

First, I recommend that you install Ubuntu 22.10 using a default 5.19.0-xx kernel version. Next, with a temporary internet connection by ethernet, tethering or whatever means possible, do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms

This takes a few moments, please be patient.

sudo nano -l /usr/src/backport-iwlwifi-9904/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/drv.c

At line number 365, change the line:

IWL_DEV_INFO(0x7A70, 0x1692, iwlax411_2ax_cfg_so_gf4_a0, iwl_ax411_killer_1690i_name),

To read:

IWL_DEV_INFO(0x7AF0, 0x1692, iwlax411_2ax_cfg_so_gf4_a0, iwl_ax411_killer_1690i_name),

That is, you will change only 7A70 to 7AF0.

Proofread carefully twice, save (Ctrl+o followed by Enter) and exit (Ctrl+x).

Now remove the old version:

sudo dkms remove backport-iwlwifi/9904

And install the new version:

sudo dkms add backport-iwlwifi/9904
sudo dkms build backport-iwlwifi/9904
sudo dkms install backport-iwlwifi/9904

Reboot and show us:

sudo dmesg | grep iwl

Just `sudo apt-get install backport-iwlwifi-dkms` (and rebooting) may be enough for some cases (it was for me).

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.
