WIFI connectivity after 22.04 upgrade

Question

Updated my machine to 22.04 a few weeks ago. My WiFi is no longer working. Shows me no connections available, except a wired connection. I am pretty new to UBUNTU, so I am not sure what to run to diagnose. Help would be much appreciated!

See all the answers to My wireless/WiFi connection does not work. What information is needed to diagnose the issue? and then edit your question above and add all the relevant information. Please do not put screenshots of photos of the terminal . Copy the output of the terminal and paste it directly into your question and format it as code using the {_} icon above the edit question window. — user68186, Nov 22 '22 at 20:02

First I would try doing the standard update procedure, sudo apt update followed by sudo apt upgrade.

If that doesn't work, this website I read says your problem could be with the kernel. Maybe trying to update the kernel via these commands:

sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

may help fix the problem.

Here is the website: https://www.technewstoday.com/ubuntu-wifi-not-working/

These tech newspapers seems like they are just fluff, but they have helped me fix problems before

Hope that helps.

Useful command is

inxi -Fxmz

The output is the full information about your system. There is Network section where you can see what driver is used for wifi adapter.
