The internal WIFI card on my XPS 15 (2018) has stopped working. It was fine when I shutdown last week, and not working when I powered on this morning. I'm posting this using an alfa card, which works fine.
I'm running Mint 19 Cinnamon, kernel 4.15.0-36.
I've posted some info below, which all show the alfa card only. Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers!
