After the latest updates (Terminal: sudo apt update & upgrade) my WiFi suddenly didn't work anymore. I did a fresh installation including all applications necessary for me and again did not work after the updates.

Yesterday I reproduced it after a fresh installation (20.04 LTS - latest version) WiFi is working until I do updates.

System: P14s AMD Gen2

WiFi: Intel Wifi 6 AX210 non vPro --> support at Kernel 5.10+

OS: dual boot with win 10 + 20.04.2 LTS Ubuntu Mate, Kernel 5.11.0.27

Bluetooth still works, WiFi stops working - not even in the network list - after sudo update&upgrade.

Any recommendations?

I just switched the WiFi card to Intel because the original one (RTL8852AE 11ax) didn't work...

    Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: sudo modprobe iwlwifi && sudo dmesg | grep iwl Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Aug 26 '21 at 13:21
  • @chili555 added the code, sorry i am new here and tried the last 20 minutes to format the code, with no luck. Thanks for the help! – ra_be Aug 26 '21 at 18:08
  • Does this offer a solution?https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi#about_dual-boot_with_windows_and_fast-boot_enabled – chili555 Aug 26 '21 at 18:46
  • Please also show us: sudo dpkg -s linux-firmware | grep -i version and also: ls /usr/lib/firmware | grep -i pnvm – chili555 Aug 26 '21 at 19:24
  • No change after windows energy change Ćode: ThinkPad-P14s-Gen-2a:~$ sudo dpkg -s linux-firmware | grep -i version Version: 1.187.16 – ra_be Aug 26 '21 at 19:26
  • And how about the other command? – chili555 Aug 26 '21 at 19:38
  • @chili555 sorry i overlooked it..

    -ThinkPad-P14s-Gen-2a:~$ ls /usr/lib/firmware | grep -i pnvm iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm

  • On my 18.04.6, I upgraded the kernel to 5.13.19 and copied the driver from Intel website to /lib/firmware. It worked like a charm after that. – Champ Jan 26 '22 at 21:53

This is the subject of a well-known bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=212371#c13

Let's try the suggested fix. From the terminal:

sudo mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm  /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak

Reboot and tell us if there is any improvement.

EDIT: It appears that periodic updates to the package linux-firmware will install a new version of the offending file iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm and so this process will need to be repeated.
