Hi @vicamo, I virtually tried every method in this thread, notably methods 2 and 3 exposed in the summary, and also virtually every other method I could find on the web, including those ones:
 - https://mukaiguy.medium.com/adding-wifi-drivers-to-ubuntu-linux-for-dells-xps-15-9500-with-ax500-f535fb42db70
 - https://askubuntu.com/questions/1280328/ubuntu-20-04-killer-ax500s-dbs-drivers-support (all answers)

But with no success at all.
My laptop is a XPS 9500 running on **Groovy**.

In the end it never worked even if I had all the necessary and up-to-date firmware files in /lib/firmware/ath11k/, a 5.10+ kernel (custom or from the focal/hirsute repos), and an up-to-date BIOS.

I've never had any line mentioning the Wifi card in the kernel logs. I'm quite desperate :)

I must mention that it works on Windows so that's not a hardware issue.

Thanks in advance, I could use any ideas...
