@koba ifconfig shows that ethernet has nothing. wg0 is for WireGuard. wlps0 is for my phone's hotspot as only way I can connect to internet either wired or wirelessly. Wired connection normally showing by clicking on top right hand corner of screen has again disappeared! I disconnected phone's hotspot in between 1st & 2nd ifcnofig:

BTW I have a an old Pentium laptop also on Ubuntu 22.04 which works Ok still. The only thing that I can think of that is causing these issues is that sometimes my PC freezes (and I don't know why) which gives rise to some orphaned inodes on rebooting. I've even tried a TP-Link usb wifi dongle but that doesn't connect either on this Asus barebones PN50-1 computer but works OK on my old Pentium laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux-firmware in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2022826 Title: Ethernet hangs Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm now getting my wired (i.e. Ethernet) connection hanging on trying to connect.

RTL8125 2.5GbE Controller [10ec:8125] (rev 05) I found a web page: https://tutorialforlinux.com/2021/05...based-systems/ I followed the instructions and installed realtek-r8125-dkms package OK. On rebooting, I followed the instructed procedure (shown when installing the package) of creating a password and then entering it when requested on the reboot. But still same problem. Any ideas what to do? PS I've switched Wi-Fi on (though I'd prefer to use Ethernet, as my Wi-Fi is a little flaky due to walls) in order to post this question.
