Unbelievable! Within minutes of me saying "no disconnections", my wifi is gone!
I ran Zorin Software Updater, installed updates and restarted, and now wifi not detected.
I'm tethering now. @anyone: Should I try the above steps again to get wifi working? Or just a select few? Or something else entirely? Roll back the Zorin Update? lshw again?
Here's the output:
sudo lshw -C network

So back to saying it's "unclaimed".
