'modinfo iwlwifi' not showing network controller firmware after kernel upgrade; also Network Controller UNCLAIMED


Intel wireless 8260 - unclaimed networkWireless Dropping Out Using Intel 7260AC Card (Deauthenticated - Reason 7)I'm unable to get intel 7260 cb (IWLWIFI) to work, Kubuntu 14.04Is this a bad wireless card?Unstable wireless with Intel 7260 + iwlwifi after upgrade to 15.04Wireless doesn't work on Lenovo z50 (with Qualcomm Atheros) on Ubuntu 15.10Wireless network does not resume after sleep on 16.04 LTSThree identical WiFi cards but Linux driver only loads reliably for one of them?How do I change which firmware is used for my wireless cardIntel 8260 and Ubuntu 16.04Intel Wireless-AC 9560 WiFi not working in Ubuntu 16.04

Trying to get an older version of Ubuntu (16.04-based) running on newer hardware by upgrading the kernel--specfically at this moment, trying to get the wifi controller recognized.



With stock 16.04 install, running modinfo iwlwifi shows the expected list of available iwlwifi- firmware, but lshw -C network shows the network device as UNCLAIMED (Intel Wireless-AC 9560 {8086:a370}). dsmeg | grep iwlwifi outputs nothing.



After upgrading the kernel from 4.4.x to a custom compile of kernel 4.16.18 (4.16.18--1.blah-), modinfo iwlwifi still shows expected driver file name (iwlwifi.ko) location and other info, but now does not show any of the installed firmware options. lshw -C network still shows the network device as UNCLAIMED. dsmeg | grep iwlwifi still outputs nothing.



(1) Why would modinfo iwlwifi not be showing the firmware options after the kernel upgrade (path issue of some sort?)?



(2) I suspect I need to recompile the driver per this prior answer to a similar question.. Intel wireless 8260 - unclaimed network. However, I don't know exactly what backport to use as the foundation. What file should I use as a starting point?



Hardware:
Intel® Core™ i3-8100 Processor (3.6 GHz, 6 MB Cache, 2400 MHz, 4 core, 65W) + Intel® UHD Graphics 630
Intel® Wireless-AC 9560 (2x2) + Bluetooth® 5 (no-vPro™)
