MSI GS 65 Ubuntu 18 wireless: no wifi adapter found












1















I have Ubuntu 18.04 on an MSI GS 65. The wireless doesn't work: it says no wifi adapter found. lshw -C network says a network is UNCLAIMED.

The problem is similar to this SO question but I have a different kernel version: 4.15.0-43-generic.



Contrary to this post I think the wireless used to work but has stopped working since I installed some Ubuntu suggested updates. But I am not too sure.

          I checked my device using lspci -knn | grep Net -A3. This gave me the PCI id (8086:a370). I searched with that and found this forum. It clearly says that it is supported for kernel >= 4.16. Ubuntu 18.04 has 4.15.



          You can just upgrade the kernel to solve the problem. Since I have nvidia drivers installed I upgraded to Ubuntu 18.10 which has 4.18. This indeed solved the problem.
