sudo dpkg -i *.deb

3. Restarted
4. Tested the kernel and tried to connect the 2.4 GHz network.
uname -a
Linux florin-SATELLITE-P50-C 5.4.0-050400rc6-generic #201911031940 SMP Mon Nov 4 00:43:05 UTC 2019 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

5. Cannot connect 2.4, then it connects automatically to the 5 GHz.
Cheked, in the additional drivers list it looks like a not functional wifi card, just like before. In Ubuntu 19.04 it worked, BTW, something changed meanwhile.

6. /var/log/dmesg is attached.
