Additional Drivers tab claims i8260 wifi card is not working

[Adam Collard]

Recently upgraded to Focal, and despite having a stable, working wifi connection I see that the "Additional Drivers" tab of the GTK application shows that my wifi card is not working. Note there is only a single adapter in my laptop.

From dmesg:

[ 7.237957] iwlwifi 0000:04:00.0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8260, REV=0x208

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Confirmed also with an 8265.
