Broken after kernel update #1132

Closed pindjur closed 8 months ago

After updating the kernel from version 6.2.0-26-generic to 6.5.0-14-generic using Ubuntu's Software Updater, my wifi adapter is no longer recognized. I attempted to reinstall the driver, reconnect the adapter, and reboot the system, but got the same rasult. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

Yes, sudo dkms autoinstall fixed it for me.

Thank you for the hint @windler47 . My problem was that I removed dkms package after initial installation , then after updating kernel, information regarding previous module build was lost. I solved it by manually removing driver from old kernel /usr/lib/modules/[old kernel]/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/[wifi driver] and reinstalling driver.
