Unclaimed Network Controller on Ubuntu 23.04 HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-eb0xxx

[Student.a]

# Problem
I recently tried dual booting my **HP Spectre x360 Convertible 15-eb0xxx** machine with *Windows 11* and *Ubuntu 23.04*. Unfortunately, the Ubuntu system is never able to connect to the internet via it's wifi card. Wifi works as expected when running Windows 11.

Windows 11 device manager reports my wifi card is an Intel Ax201 160MhZ device.

I have obtained the following diagnostic information:

## dmesg

```
[ 2.352442] iwlwifi: unknown parameter 'd0i3_disable' ignored
[ 2.352445] iwlwifi: unknown parameter 'lar_disable' ignored

[ 2.368163] iwlwifi: probe of 0000:00:14.3 failed with error -22
```

## sudo lshw -C network

# I have tried:

* The following dual boot permutations:

  - Ubuntu 18.04 + Windows 10
  - Ubuntu 18.04 + Windows 11
  - Ubuntu 20.04 + Windows 11
  - Ubuntu 22.04 + Windows 11
  - Ubuntu 22.04 + Windows 10
  - Ubuntu 23.o4 + Windows 10

> Across all permutations
>
> - wifi *always* works on windows.
> - wifi *never* works on Ubuntu
> - Bluetooth\* occasionally / intermittently\* works on Ubuntu.

* Disabling Fast Boot on the Windows control panel power settings, as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1254608/the-wifi-is-disabled-when-i-start-with-windows-and-then-go-back-to-ubuntu-a-res
* Disabling Secure Boot on my BIOS.
* Patching my network drivers as described here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1352653/intel-ax201-wi-fi-6-is-not-working-on-ubuntu-21-04

* EDIT: Reinstalling `linux-modules-extra` as described by [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1474267/1721042)
* EDIT: Removing `linux-modules-*-iwlwifi` and installing `backport-iwlwifi-dkms` as described by [this bug report](https://<email address hidden>/msg503049.html)
* EDIT: Manually installing `sudo dpkg -i backport-iwlwifi-dkms_9904-0ubuntu5_all.deb` from [here](http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/b/backport-iwlwifi-dkms/) and firmware from [here](https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git) with `sudo tar -zxvf linux-firmware-20230804.tar.gz -C /lib/firmware`, as described by [this answer](https://askubuntu.com/a/1363582/1721042)
> Note: Between each attempted fix, Ubuntu 23.04 was reinstalled to unpersist and changes made.
