Hi Chris, Not sure I understand how this worked but I ran the below command after doing a bit of research and after rebooting the wifi started working again.
"sudo modprobe cfg80211" A quick search showed this on the system: doug@doug-Latitude-E6430:~$ ls -l /lib/modules/5.4.0-96-lowlatency/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1222521 Jan 12 09:16 /lib/modules/5.4.0-96-lowlatency/kernel/net/wireless/cfg80211.ko I think this aligns pretty well with the date of the patch that broke the wifi. Maybe the patch just failed to update the kernel with the new driver module. Doug On 1/22/22 16:41, Doug Forguson wrote: > Hi Chris, > > I guess I got the module name wrong.
