No wifi option on Ubuntu (18.04 and 16.04)












2















I have recently installed Ubuntu 18.04 LTS, but I wouldn't get connected to the wifi as there was no wifi option. I checked /lib/firmware and my Intel AC 9260 wifi driver ucode was there, I tried downloading another one from Intel too but that didn't make a difference.

Update 1:
I have tried to install the BackPort from this site backport-iwlwifi
. However, I'm unable to install it due to lack of gcc. I also tried to install build-essential package, but without an internet connection, I'm clueless about how to proceed.

  • The fix is to download and install build-essential and all its dependencies and the dependencies of the dependencies: packages.ubuntu.com Or walk the computer over to an ethernet cable and I can propose a 3 minute fix.

Please start with:



sudo apt update
sudo apt install build-essential git


Now do:



git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git
cd backport-iwlwifi
sudo make
sudo make install


The ‘make’ step takes a few moments; please be patient.



Now, we’ll write a conf file:



sudo -i
echo “options iwlwifi disable_msix=1” >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
exit


Reboot and tell us if the wireless is now working.



EDIT: You have compiled the driver for your currently running kernel version only. When Update Manager installs a newer kernel version, after the requested reboot, recompile:



cd backport-iwlwifi
sudo make clean
sudo make
sudo make install


Reboot.



Please retain the files and these instructions for that time.

Lets start with the easy options. I presume you haven't turned the card off in the network settings, but what about the hardware kill switch?



andrew@big-red-wired:~$ rfkill
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 wlan phy0 blocked unblocked
andrew@big-red-wired:~$


In my case, I have one wireless card, and I have it off in software, ON in the hardware. All I did was use Network Manager to disable the wireless. I got bit by this a few years back reinstalling for a friend who had a borked windows install and this was the problem.



HTH
Andrew.



edit:
If this is indeed the case,



rfkill unblock all

  • I have checked the kill switch, but only Bluetooth appeared (all unblocked). I didn't see a type WLAN or wireless device.

Thank you, chili555! I have an Intel 9260 (integrated in my Gigabyte Aorus Gaming 7 Wifi motherboard), and I had the exact same problem. And your solution worked perfectly! Thank you!



Just so I can learn, can you please explain what we just did? I had tried using Intel's own iwlwifi driver, and it didn't work. So I'd really like to know what I just did. Thanks!

    Please start with:



    sudo apt update
    sudo apt install build-essential git


    Now do:



    git clone https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/backport-iwlwifi.git
    cd backport-iwlwifi
    sudo make
    sudo make install


    The ‘make’ step takes a few moments; please be patient.



    Now, we’ll write a conf file:



    sudo -i
    echo “options iwlwifi disable_msix=1” >> /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
    exit


    Reboot and tell us if the wireless is now working.



    EDIT: You have compiled the driver for your currently running kernel version only. When Update Manager installs a newer kernel version, after the requested reboot, recompile:



    cd backport-iwlwifi
    sudo make clean
    sudo make
    sudo make install


    Reboot.



    Please retain the files and these instructions for that time.

    Lets start with the easy options. I presume you haven't turned the card off in the network settings, but what about the hardware kill switch?



    andrew@big-red-wired:~$ rfkill
    ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
    0 wlan phy0 blocked unblocked
    andrew@big-red-wired:~$


    In my case, I have one wireless card, and I have it off in software, ON in the hardware. All I did was use Network Manager to disable the wireless. I got bit by this a few years back reinstalling for a friend who had a borked windows install and this was the problem.

    If this is indeed the case,



    rfkill unblock all
