I've check intels website (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/support/articles/000005511/network-and-i-o/wireless-networking.html) and firmware-iwlwifi. But both of these packages only have the microcode for up to version 48.
Am i missing something?
Yes some reasonable description.
What wlan device is in your "modern" inspiron? Do you think everybody has the spec in their head?
So please post the output of
hwinfo --wlan
And what did you do to install the firmware? Did you include non-free in your sources? Did you install
the firmware from there? Exactly what did you install?
