    Re: Can't get wifi (AX200NGW) to work in Ubuntu 16 kernel 4.15, Acer Predator

    I haven't the knowledge to suggest a solution. I see nothing there that points to wireless.

    You might ask here: https://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=331 There may be a solution but I am not a boot specialist, but a wireless and networking journeyman.

    If it were me, I'd run a live USB session and try, if I could, to back up my essential files and reinstall the entire system.

    I'm back after this... So now booted normally.
    But now I can't see any wifi available.
    Got this in the log:

    But now I can't see any wifi available.
    Got this in the log:
    I don't see anything remarkable there. The ethernet starts and connects.

    Let's have a look at:

    Code:
    dmesg | grep -e wlp -e iwl

    No output after that:

    Code:
    :~$ dmesg | grep -e wlp -e iwl
    :~$

    Your case gets more interesting by the minute; and by interesting, I mean weird!

    The driver iwlwifi seemed to load automatically at the start but appears not to now. Let's load it from the command line and see if any interesting messages appear that help us find the solution:

    Code:
    sudo modprobe iwlwifi
    dmesg | grep -e wlp -e iwl

    Re: Can't get wifi (AX200NGW) to work in Ubuntu 16 kernel 4.15, Acer Predator

    Hi, I'm back, finally I had to re-install my OS again, so here with a fresh ubuntu 16, kernel 4.15.
    So I haven't even tried backporting this time (as the last time was too messy cause I've tried so many things). Could you please guide me the correct way to do it all over? It's kindly appreciated.
    I have to say also that I'm atm connected through an USB-Ethernet adaptor (as my ethernet card is not being recognized either)

    Thanks chilli555 for all the help.

    Something is wrong here. Your wireless info says:

    Please claify.
    Something must be wrong with the data retrieved by the script.

    It will be a bit tricky in 16.04 and quite easy in 18.04 LTS. As you have modern hardware, I see no reason to install a 4-year-old version and kernel. Please consider reinstalling 18.04 LTS.

    However, if you prefer, we can get out the plasma cutter and sledge and do it the long way.

    What would you like to do?
