...Thanks, Captain!
JSYK: when i went back to 'the "iwlwifi" url/link holds' that i posted in my #13 reply NOW appears to be foul - it looks like it should've been [https://wireless.docs.kernel.org/en/late...lwifi.html]. interesting, now that i re-look @ it, they have TWO sub's titled "introduction" & "bugs/support" - prob. more meaningful to a geek than to me, but i digress.
answers/comments to some 'other' points: Did the commands to fix the issue with running your wifi on Linux Lite 7.x include anything like this? code: sudo apt update && sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms - YES=familiar, similar, like-that but couldn't say when i might've run it or which ver. of LL or before dumping/reloading version(s) or what the results were. a bit confusing that U'd present a disclaimer ~ running it "just trying to work out what you (I) did" ... well, i ran it anyway - worse case i dump/reload/rinse/repeat OS again:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install backport-iwlwifi-dkms

backport-iwlwifi-dkms is already the newest version (11510-0ubuntu1.1).
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 5 not upgraded.
& from UR #10 reply (?):
1) Use wired - I AM/DO/CAN ONLY USE WIRED, i WANT to use/fix wire-LESS in 7.x (8.x?, 9.x?, X.x?)
2) Find the commands you used earlier which reportedly got the Intel adaptor working on Lite version 7.x - any progress on this ? - I HAVE, & CONTINUE TO, SEARCH (Dr. Google, Brave, DDG) TO THE BEST OF MY REMEMBERING WHAT / WHERE I MAY HAVE STUMBLED ON THAT 'PREVIOUS' COMMANDS I'D USED EARLIER - FROM TIME-TO-TIME & ~ AS OFTEN AS U REPEATEDLY SUGGEST/REQUEST THIS. BELIEVE ME, IF I HAD/EVER HAVE THE ANSWER OR FIND THE MAGIC ANSWER I WILL ADVISE IT, POST IT, SUPPLY/SHARE IT WITH U & THE WORLD. no, i have no progress on this, other than MORE Q's, MORE confusion & LITTLE understanding of wildly suggested gyrations.
4) Use a USB wifi adaptor (Non Intel) - IMPRACTICAL, NOT AN OPTION!
5) Provide the information requested previously to allow further investigation (bug reports, driver manipulation) - I'D BE MORE THAN WILLING TO RUN REQUESTED REPORTS A/O ALL OF THE PREVIOUS ONES AGAIN, OR MAKE CHANGES & RUN 'EM AGAIN - I SIMPLY DON'T KNOW WHAT ONE NEEDS UNLESS DIRECTED TO DO SO.
Have you provided Intel customer support with different information that may mislead them? - CERTAINLY NOT INTENTIONAL OR DECEPTIVELY. THEY EVEN ASKED SOME/MORE OF THE SAME ONES U'D ASKED. EVEN REPEATED/REPEATING/DUPLICATING SOME OF THE SAME RESULTING REPORT INFORMATION
It is hard to understand why Intel might suggest the iwlwifi driver is not included in the distribution. - AGREED, NOT REALLY SURE I GOT TO A PROPER 'TECH' LEVEL CS/TS AGENT
Are they suggesting you need to use a different driver or a specific version of their driver? - COUDN'T SAY WHAT THEY'RE 'SUGGESTING' BUT NOT TERRIBLY INTERESTED IN ASKING 'EM TO EXPOUND @ THIS POINT
