Naël (nathanael-naeri) wrote : software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that Intel Wireless-AC 9260 device is not working

On Ubuntu 20.04 (development branch), as of today, Additional Drivers (software-properties-gtk 0.98.6) reports that the device "Intel Corporation: Wireless-AC 9260" is not working, and suggests using a manually installed driver (cf. screenshot).

However the device is working correctly:

  * lsmod | grep iwlwifi, lspci -v, lshw, dmesg | grep iwlwifi all show
    that its driver iwlwifi is in use
  * ls /lib/firmware/*9260* show that the appropriate firmware files are present

And I am indeed writing this bug report connected to an ac (5 GHz) wifi network, where I can verify a ~130-160 Mbps download speed, so software-properties-gtk shouldn't report the device as not working and suggest manually installing a driver. Not sure why it says so?
