Hi all,
I’m trying to get the WiFi card to work but I am now completely stuck on how to proceed further. Here is what I’ve done so far:
- I downloaded the firmware driver iwlwifi but that didn’t get me anywhere.
- I came across this thread: Issues with Intel 9620 WiFi Card/no wlan0 detected(search this up. I can only put one link. Sorry!). It suggested the kernel requires a backport driver.
- I downloaded the backport-iwlwifi-dkms by following this thread: drivers - Backport for iwlwifi - Ask Ubuntu. I saw some new changes when using lspci and dmesg. Kernel in use has changed to iwlwifi and now there are new errors in dmesg:

Can't parse empty family.... I’ve triedsudo iw reg set AU
I’ve read about this error being a hardware issue in a few threads but couldn’t find anything past that. I’m not totally convinced it is a hardware issue as it’s fresh out of the box.
Could anyone shed some light?
Thanks!
