No hope for AX211 wifi working on ubuntu 20.04?
I fresh installed ubuntu 20.04 on my laptop and apt update & upgraded to the latest.
$ uname -r
5.13.0-39-generic
So far BT is working fine but only wifi isn’t working now.
I checked as below
$ lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3

Per the answer from here Wireless Network not showing with iwlwifi card
I downloaded backport-iwlwifi-dkms_9340-0ubuntu4_all.deb from https://packages.ubuntu.com/impish/backport-iwlwifi-dkms
and downloaded linux-firmware-20220310.tar.gz from
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/
dkms_9340 install
Installed dkms_9340 as below
$ sudo dpkg -i backport-iwlwifi-dkms_9340-0ubuntu4_all.deb

Copy iwlwifi-so files
And copied all the iwlwifi-so-a0-* files from linux-firmware-20220310
$ sudo cp iwlwifi-so-a0-* /lib/firmware
AFTER REBOOT
After reboot, it looks like the wifi module is claimed but not working

According to this answer ubuntu 20.04 LTS driver intel WI-FI 6E AX211 160MHZ
the AX211 is supported in Kernel 5.14, so unfortunately the support in
even the HWE Kernels for 20.04 LTS are not there
So there is no hope for ubuntu 20.04 to run AX211 wifi module? or just wait for an update for it?
