Hi Josue O. Intel,
I found out that AX210 is not supported by the kernel version 5.11 which I was using and is supported by kernel 5.13. I am using an external wireless card and it works with Ubuntu 20.04.
Thanks for the help!

Hi Josue_O_Intel,
Thanks for getting back to me!
I'll answer the questions you've asked below:
1. Was it working before? - No, the wifi doesn't work from the get go. I'm using usb tethering to use my mobile internet on my laptop.
2. Driver version you are using. - Currently I'm using the firmware given here for Intel® Wi-Fi 6 AX210 160MHz, Kernel 5.10+ and iwlwifi-ty-59.601f3a66.0.tgz I've followed the instructions given on that page and I have renamed the .pnvm file in /lib/firmware as suggested here
3. A strange issue I'm facing that could be the problem is that kernel module after doing lspci -knn doesn't show iwlwifi in Kernel Modules for the wifi, just wl. What could be the workaround for that ?
I'm attaching the scan results, however please check the screenshot also.
Please let me know if anything else is required.
Best,

Hello jazz_17
In this case, we recommend you to keep checking the distro website for updates and more information since the compatibility with the kernel can only be confirmed by them. They also provide the drivers and firmware to ensure the proper functioning of the adapter on their OS.
Hope this information is useful, if you need any additional information, please submit a new question as this thread will no longer be monitored.
