After upgrade from 22.04 to 24.04 my notebooks wlan doesnt work

Asked by Dennis Haneklaus

After upgrading from 22.04 to 24.04 my notebooks wlan doesnt work anymore.

The wlan sing is there with a "?" in it. In Networks it shows the wlan with signal strength and "connected".

The device even gets an ip and stuff, its showed up as online device in the router.

But I dont get a connection to web. Even ping says no...

If your notebook's WLAN (Wi-Fi) isn't working after upgrading from Ubuntu 22.04 to 24.04, here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot and potentially resolve the issue:

1. **Check Wi-Fi Hardware Switch**: Ensure that the physical Wi-Fi hardware switch on your notebook (if present) is turned on. Sometimes, accidental toggling of this switch can disable Wi-Fi functionality.

2. **Restart Network Manager**: Restart the network manager service to refresh network connections. You can do this by opening a terminal and running the following command:
   ```
   sudo service network-manager restart
   ```

3. **Check for Disabled Wi-Fi**: Verify that Wi-Fi hasn't been accidentally disabled in the network settings. Open the network settings or network manager applet and ensure that Wi-Fi is enabled.

4. **Update Wi-Fi Drivers**: It's possible that the upgrade may have caused compatibility issues with your Wi-Fi drivers. Try updating your Wi-Fi drivers to the latest version. You can do this through the Additional Drivers utility or by manually downloading and installing drivers from the manufacturer's website.

5. **Check for Updates**: Run a system update to ensure that all packages, including Wi-Fi-related ones, are up to date. Open a terminal and run:
   ```
   sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade
   ```

6. **Check for Known Issues**: Look for any known issues or compatibility problems related to your specific Wi-Fi hardware and Ubuntu 24.04. Check Ubuntu forums, community websites, or bug tracking databases for information on any reported issues and possible solutions.

7. **Check Hardware Compatibility**: Ensure that your Wi-Fi hardware is supported by Ubuntu 24.04. It's possible that certain older or less common Wi-Fi chipsets may not be fully compatible with newer Ubuntu releases.

8. **Temporary Workaround**: As a temporary workaround, you can try using a USB Wi-Fi adapter that is known to be compatible with Ubuntu 24.04. This can provide Wi-Fi connectivity until a permanent solution is found.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you may need to gather more information about your specific Wi-Fi hardware and any error messages you encounter, and then seek assistance from the Ubuntu community forums or other support channels for further troubleshooting.
