WiFi option in Ubuntu 20.04 not appearing [duplicate]
After the latest updates (Terminal: sudo apt update & upgrade) my WiFi suddenly didn't work anymore.
I did a fresh installation including all applications necessary for me and again did not work after the updates.
Yesterday I reproduced it after a fresh installation (20.04 LTS - latest version) WiFi is working until I do updates.
System: P14s AMD Gen2
WiFi: Intel Wifi 6 AX210 non vPro --> support at Kernel 5.10+
OS: dual boot with win 10 + 20.04.2 LTS Ubuntu Mate, Kernel 5.11.0.27
Bluetooth still works, WiFi stops working - not even in the network list - after sudo update&upgrade.
Any recommendations?
I just switched the WiFi card to Intel because the original one (RTL8852AE 11ax) didn't work...

This is the subject of a well-known bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212371#c13
Let's try the suggested fix. From the terminal:
sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak
Reboot and tell us if there is any improvement.
EDIT: It appears that periodic updates to the package linux-firmware will install a new version of the offending file iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm and so this process will need to be repeated.
