The package backport-iwlwifi-dkms
from the PPA canonical-hwe-team/pc-oem-dkms works for both kernel versions 4.15 and 5.0, the current HWE kernel. However, you need to install the package while running kernel 4.15. With kernel 5.0, you get an error during the package installation.
After the package has been successfully installed, just reboot your system, and your wifi should be working.
Because you have already updated your kernel, here is another option for you.
You can try the linux-oem-osp1
kernel and update linux-firmware
to the latest version. This kernel is for certified OEM machines, based on 19.04's 5.0 kernel, AX200 support has been backported. I recommend this method because the packages are officially supported.
$ sudo apt install linux-oem-osp1 linux-firmware
Alternatively, for those who want to stick with the default 4.15 kernel in 18.04, you can use simply install backport-iwlwifi-dkms
from Ubuntu archive:
$ sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms
The backport-iwlwifi-dkms
package used to be in the canonical-hwe-team/pc-oem-dkms PPA, but now it's available in the standard Ubuntu archive, saving you the trouble of adding a PPA.
