Title:
  Intel 9260 WiFi adapter doesn't work on B450 motherboard

Status in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Hi, I know this has been a well discussed issue on Linux forums, but I
  am having extreme issues maintaining the built-in Intel WiFi in my
  motherboard, it resets everytime I update my distros (Ubuntu 18.04 and
  Linux Mint Cinnamon 18.3). My best fix for it is following the guide
  at [https://askubuntu.com/questions/1038242/no-wifi-option-on-
  ubuntu-18-04-and-16-04].

  I am wanting to know if there is a way to make this process more streamlined for users as this affects many and is a hassle to maintain properly. I know this has been addressed before with Ryzen CPUs but this shouldn't have to be necessary if the driver is baked into the kernel as this is quite frustrating for any user to go through, as it requires what is causing the problem to fix - a network connection. I don't mind if it's simpler to have a on/off feature like the Nvidia drivers have, as that is still a lot simpler than writing out a paragraphs of code.
   
  TL;DR I'm asking if changes could be added so that instead of needing a network connection (something that you can't have if the driver isn't built into/available through the distro) and writing a dissertation of code, they have a driver automatically work or a switch option like Broadcom and Nvidia have in this photo [https://linuxhint.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/11/driver-manager-1.png]

  I was referred here by the Linux Mint forum, please refer to the page
  in case any questions have already been answered there

  My system is a AMD Ryzen 2700x B450 with built-in Intel 9260 WiFi,
  Linux Mint 18.3/Ubuntu 18.04 dual boot.

  Thanks, Bionicle159
