I'm on the last version of Zorin 16, on a HP Probook laptop. I upgraded the Kernel a few days ago (to 6.0.8-060008-generic) and now my wifi doesn't work anymore. I have a hardware wifi button on my laptop, but when I press it I just get the "airplane mode" icon.
With lshw I get this :
*-network NON-RÉCLAMÉ
description: Network controller
produit: BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
fabricant: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries
identifiant matériel: 0
information bus: pci@0000:02:00.0
version: 00
bits: 64 bits
horloge: 33MHz
fonctionnalités: pm msi pciexpress cap_list
configuration : latency=0
ressources : mémoire:e1100000-e1103fff
I tried a few solutions found on the Internet but no luck. If somebody could give me a hand it would be amazing !
You should downgrade the kernel to one that doesn't have any bugs in it. Using the latest and greatest on a system that wasn't designed for it yet, things like this will happen.
lshw -class network actually didn't give me a driver id for the wireless card, so I used the GUI update manager instead. Deactivated the proprietary wifi driver, rebooted, activated it back, rebooted again, and boom, it works.
While I did highlight and type the wrong driver in my example, I'm glad everyone was able to look beyond my mistake and see the relevance in the help I was attempting to offer.
Forgive me for not noticing my farce both when creating the post and when it was pointed out to me.
