[Bug 1860335] [NEW] Additional Drivers tab claims i8260 wifi card is not working

[Adam Collard]

Public bug reported:

Recently upgraded to Focal, and despite having a stable, working wifi
connection I see that the "Additional Drivers" tab of the GTK
application shows that my wifi card is not working. Note there is only a
single adapter in my laptop.
