My Wi-Fi is not working on my Laptop HP Omen. Currently, I only have Kubuntu 21.10 installed on it. No Windows. My ethernet works fine. I need my Wi-Fi up and running for my class tonight. I would really appreciate your help.

These are the output I ran while doing some research:

❯ lshw -C network

In our chat, after searching and failing to find conflicting wireless drivers to explain this:

iwlwifi: Unknown symbol reg_query_regdb_wmm (err -2)

We decided to reinstall the package that provides your wireless driver iwlwifi:

sudo apt install --reinstall linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r)

We also found that the driver wasn’t loading and unloading properly and that iwlwifi.conf was missing. The file was written containing:

# /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi.conf
# iwlwifi will dyamically load either iwldvm or iwlmvm depending on the
# microcode file installed on the system.  When removing iwlwifi, first
# remove the iwl?vm module and then iwlwifi.
remove iwlwifi \
(/sbin/lsmod | grep -o -e ^iwlmvm -e ^iwldvm -e ^iwlwifi | xargs /sbin/rmmod) \
&& /sbin/modprobe -r mac80211

Next, you said that your built-in Intel hasn’t good signal strength where it’s needed at the coffee shop. We then installed a driver for your USB wireless dongle using these instructions:

How should I go about getting a wireless connection for my desktop when I have no access to ethernet?

We agreed to blacklist the driver iwlwifi for the internal device so that the USB driver wouldn’t interfere. In order to use the Intel, remove the USB and do:

sudo modprobe iwlwifi
