'modinfo iwlwifi' not showing network controller firmware after kernel upgrade; also Network Controller...
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
Trying to get an older version of Ubuntu (16.04-based) running on newer hardware by upgrading the kernel--specfically at this moment, trying to get the wifi controller recognized.
With stock 16.04 install, running modinfo iwlwifi shows the expected list of available iwlwifi- firmware, but lshw -C network shows the network device as UNCLAIMED (Intel Wireless-AC 9560 {8086:a370}). dsmeg | grep iwlwifi outputs nothing.
After upgrading the kernel from 4.4.x to a custom compile of kernel 4.16.18 (4.16.18--1.blah-), modinfo iwlwifi still shows expected driver file name (iwlwifi.ko) location and other info, but now does not show any of the installed firmware options. lshw -C network still shows the network device as UNCLAIMED. dsmeg | grep iwlwifi still outputs nothing.
(1) Why would modinfo iwlwifi not be showing the firmware options after the kernel upgrade (path issue of some sort?)?
(2) I suspect I need to recompile the driver per this prior answer to a similar question.. Intel wireless 8260 - unclaimed network. However, I don't know exactly what backport to use as the foundation. What file should I use as a starting point?
Hardware:
Intel® Core™ i3-8100 Processor (3.6 GHz, 6 MB Cache, 2400 MHz, 4 core, 65W) + Intel® UHD Graphics 630
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 (2x2) + Bluetooth® 5 (no-vPro™)
