I understand it is very frustrating to have components not work or keep switching back and forth.
Does built in Wifi work with either kernel?
the wifi adapter ?
Yes work on all karnel
The built-in wifi device does not work on 5.4 kernel, but the wifi adapter does?
yes that right
I just see that the title of my post was changed ; there is a mistake not the usb who is not working the wifi of my computer the usb wifi is working good
Now even if I use kernel 5.3 the wifi not working
this is the zorin
When I press Advanced option for Zorin
The Kernels I have, none of them have a working WIFI
without WIFI adapter I get
WI-FI Networks
device not managed
when I use WIFI adapter
I see the title of my post was changed there is a big mistake; not the usb who is not working, the usb wifi adapter working perfect. the wifi of my laptop is the problem, If I use the usb I can connect to internet but if I want to connect to internet without usb I can’t.
Thanks for letting us know. I changed the title.

I big misunderstanding, there...
Within the first few posts in the thread, you state that you are using a wifi adapter. You are asked what it is, and you name it.
From that point, we were troubleshooting the adapter. All our steps and terminal commands were based on that. Which would explain all of the difficulty... We were using make commands on something already made.
And we were configuring based on something already configured.
You can use in terminal
ifconfig
To examine your network devices and disable or enable the ones you need.
For example
sudo ifconfig wlan1 up
To enable if you are using wlan1 as your built in Wifi.
ifconfig :

sudo ifconfig wlan1 u
wlan1: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
I get error with your code can you please try to see what is the problem
Thank you
Bynd, I provided an example. You need to use ifconfig to find your wireless ID
Looking at what you posted, try
sudo ifconfig wlx1cbfce1ac56a up
it doesn’t work; still the same problem
Are you running the Zorin OS as a Virtual System?
No;
I’m using Zorin normal is the only system on my PC I delete windows 10 and I installed Zorin; I have install docker on Zorin for my websites.
Now even on kernel 5.3 Intenet not working. before internet was working on Kernel 5.3 but not on 5.4 now not working on both
maybe this will help
wlx1cbfce1ac56a is wifi adapter

In terminal, does
/etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh
give any result?
If so, you may try
wpa_cli -i wlp1s0 select_network
/etc/wpa_supplicant/ifupdown.sh
return
wpa_supplicant: unknown mode: ""
sudo wpa_cli -i wlp1s0 select_network
return
Invalid SELECT_NETWORK command - at least 1 argument is required.

This is a pretty complex issue. Your network configuration may need to be rebuilt from scratch.
The USB adapter works on both kernels, I suspect it would work even after a kernel upgrade. How comfortable are you with sticking to using the adapter?
Otherwise- your next easiest option would be to back up all your personal files and then reinstall the operating system.
