The iommu settings may have been the cultprit. I'm at least able to use the wifi wireless.
I did 2 things
changed the grub command line to :
Code: Select all
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash iommu=soft amd_iommu=off"
And I also disabled IOMMU in the bios.
I"m not sure which one worked.
My usb3 ports appear to be working now, and I have wifi so that's good enough for now.
odd behavior is that if my wired/Ethernet connection is "up", even if unconnected...no ethernet cable plugged in, my wireless won't connect.

It's the drivers. These were working with mint 19. But I think it's the new kernel. Maybe I need to try an older one? Would like to avoid that.
I have a dual boot system but it's older and I'm not sure if bios has changed...does the bios get changed with a new Operating system install? Doesn't seem like it.
I can see the different wireless networks/ access points...I can click on them and am prompted for a password, but nothing ever connects.
Here is the inxi -Fxxx
