I've just bought an Alienware M15 R7 and installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS on it and Wi-Fi is not working. I tried to follow multiple solutions, but none of them worked for me.

I'm getting the message.

And there's no Wireless driver in Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers.

I've tried the following solutions:

  1. rfkill unblock all;
  2. sudo apt-get reinstall network-manager;
  3. ubuntu-20-04-no-wifi-adapter-found-dell

Can someone help me with this issue? Thanks!

  • a wireless usb adapter should do the trick Nov 5, 2022 at 19:35
  • @Jeremy31 I've added it! Nov 5, 2022 at 19:45
  • I would like to use the existing wireless adapter, once it's a notebook. Nov 5, 2022 at 19:45

    I would be very surprised to find that you actually needed backport. I also suspect that backport is not compatible with your 5.17 kernel version. I suggest that you do: sudo apt purge backport-iwlwifi-dkms Reboot and show us a new version of: sudo dmesg | grep iwl
