Unable to connect to wifi after upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04

Question

After updating to 22.04 LTS, everything is perfectly fine but I am unable to connect to wifi because there is no wifi option in settings, but in previous version 21.10 it was working fine.

Output of

lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list
05:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [10ec:8723]
Subsystem: AzureWave RTL8723AE PCIe Wireless Network Adapter [1a3b:2114]

Does this answer your question? My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue? — waltinator, Apr 28 '22 at 05:13
Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list terminal command. — Pilot6, Apr 30 '22 at 06:49
You probably manually installed some driver for your wireless device, that is incompatible with the new kernel. — Pilot6, Apr 30 '22 at 18:24
I have no idea what you installed and if the device is supported by the new kernel without any driver. Some research is needed. Try to boot with a Live USB and check if Wi-Fi works there. — Pilot6, Apr 30 '22 at 18:28
Working on Live USB, how can I install driver using Live USB? — frwfew r33tf, Apr 30 '22 at 19:55

You need to see your wlan0 interface after typing this command:

ls /sys/class/net

or

ip link show

If there is a device, you may want to try this:

ifconfig wlan0 up

Of course we don't know your wifi interface code. You need to learn it from sys/class/net folder.

This also might help:

systemctl restart networkmanager

This won't work because a kernel module is not loaded. – Pilot6 Apr 30 '22 at 18:30
