.40 (recovery mode) or .40-generic?

Just generic

What the difference?

Worked!! Thank you.

But every time I update my system do I have to do that? Also on the next reboot this remains or every time should I choose it

No idea never done this before my self. If the newer kernel kicks in again we can delete it. Download synaptic from the store and search for kernel headers (5.11.0-43)

I downloaded the program, how do I find the right file in this mess?

Search for linux-headers or 5.11.0-43 and take a screenshot of it

Okay, just delete the first?

Full screen image would be better

with sort:

I am not behind my laptop...open terminal

sudo apt-get purge linux-image-5.11.0-43-generic
sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-5.11.0-43-generic

That should remove the newer kernel verion.

Mark for removal number 1 and 3

linux-image-5.11.0-43-generic
linux-headers-5.11.0-43-generic

I did but it chose the rest of it on his own!

You can also use DKMS to avoid having to reinstall Wifi Drivers or the Kernel with each update.

Do you have instructions for this and how exactly it is done ;

If you post the output of

sudo lshw -c network

I can probably give you a singular command. Otherwise, you would need to install dkms (sudo apt install dkms), then build the wifi driver from source. It depends on the driver and its availability.

*-network

Ummm... that's generic...

It looks like you need the lwfinger driver built from source, after installing dkms:

sudo apt install dkms
