I updated my laptop earlier and an issue has arisen that I’ve never had before. Prior to the update I used WiFi without issue via…
…and it was used to enable the smart bit of my TV [i.e. playing YouTube videos on my TV].
I updated my laptop with the following earlier…
hwloc-2.10.0-1 iw-6.7-1 linux-zen-6.6.8.zen1-1 linux-zen-headers-6.6.8.zen1-1 netpbm-10.86.39-2 python-setuptools-1:69.0.2-1 tzdata-2023d-1
The WiFi no longer worked, so something here caused a problem. The above software no longer created a hotspot - I checked to see if the WiFi was enabled and it was, so I’m somewhat baffled.
I have ultimately used the btrfs snapper to return my laptop to its previous state and the WiFi is working again.
If it’s a kernel problem I’ll simply wait until then next one appears before I update again.
