.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

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
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.

Ummm... that's generic...
It looks like you need the lwfinger driver built from source, after installing dkms:
sudo apt install dkms

It didn't work out, I don't know maybe I did it wrong
More likely I relayed the concept poorly.
DKMS is Dynamic Kernel Module... something... I cannot remember off the top of my head... That echos the correct module, regardless of which kernel you are using. You can see this is quite a boon if you upgrade your kernel, as the module you are using to enable Hardware needs to know the Kernel Version to Look for. You can also see the flaw here; as this behavior should be default.
I believe this hails to an earlier time; when kernels upgraded more slowly. And the Linux users were more often than not; adept rather than novice.
I am jumping into this thread in the middle... I wonder if you may be better off starting a new Thread for the purpose of exploring DKMS (and thus, buying some of us some time to get caught up on existing threads) .
This current thread is marked as solved, with the additional suggestion of DKMS as a proposal, not as a solution.
