[sf-lug] Wi-Fi woes

Close enough.  'Intel Corporation Device 2526' is not a proper model
number, but the corresponding model number is Intel Wireless-AC 9260,
which is this doohickey:

Aha!  Valuable data, so thanks.

Jim, please don't state as a fact that something is 'dead' unless you're
really, really sure -- and also, say _why you think so_, otherwise
all you're doing is confusing the situation with your guesses and
interpretations.  Which in this case Bobbie's cross-checking appears to
prove were mistaken, FWIW.  Given that your hardware works fine with
Ubuntu Studio, obviously it cannot be correctly pronounced 'dead'.
