Ubuntu – BIOS contains WGDS but no WRDS

19.0419.10iwlwifixubuntu

I updated from 18.04 and run Xubuntu specifically. I updated to 19.04 and my wifi works and everything but for some strange reason for a few weeks now, no matter what I do, I cant get rid of this error.

It pops up in the quick black screen that appears before my login prompt shows up.

No matter what I cannot find anything to fix it, my wifi still works but that error appearing drives me up the wall.

If you want specifics, there's the whole thing from the logs.

Found this message in a fresh Lubuntu 18.04.3 64 bit installation + latest updates (5.0.0-27-generic kernel). I can reproduce it doing:

sudo systemctl restart network-manager
cat /var/log/syslog | grep iwlwifi

The system works fine (include wifi connections).

It seems to be a not important warning. At https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=243922 it says:

after the fix is applied contains the output "BIOS contains WGDS but no WRDS"
