Title:
Additional Drivers reports: Wireless 3165 device is not working, but
it seems to work.
Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
After a fresh install of 20.04 Additional drivers shows confusing
results. (I selected to install these drivers during installation). It
is a dell inspiron 7559.
I also confirmed this happens using the 20.04 iso image I installed from.
Steps to reproduce:
* boot live image 20.04 desktop
* enable multiverse (from software and updates)
* close (and refresh) and open additional drivers.
* observe below for Wireless device.
```
Intel Corporation: Wireless 3165
This device is not working
* [grayed] Using iwlwifi driver backport in DKMS format from
backport-iwlwifi-dkms (open source)
* [not selected] Continue using a manually installed driver
* [selected, grayed] Do not use the device
```
However, wifi appears to work fine.
