Title:
  software-properties-gtk erroneously reports that certain Intel
  wireless adapter cards are not working

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 20.04 (development branch), as of today, Additional Drivers
  (software-properties-gtk 0.98.6) reports that the device "Intel
  Corporation: Wireless-AC 9260" is not working, and suggests using a
  manually installed driver (cf. screenshot).

  However the device is working correctly:

    * lsmod | grep iwlwifi, lspci -v, lshw, dmesg | grep iwlwifi all show
      that its driver iwlwifi is in use
    * ls /lib/firmware/*9260* show that the appropriate firmware files
      are present

  And I am indeed writing this bug report connected to an ac (5 GHz)
  wifi network, where I can verify a ~130-160 Mbps download speed, so
  software-properties-gtk shouldn't report the device as not working and
  suggest manually installing a driver. Not sure why it says so?

  EDIT: bug confirmed as affecting the following Intel wireless adapter
  cards, and assumedly more to come:

    Intel Wi-Fi 6 AX200
    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3165
    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 7260
    Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 8260
    Intel Wireless-AC 9260

  Also for reference here are the specs of Intel adapter cards:
