Fresh install of Mint 20.3 on new machine had wifi, and now it doesn't after reboot

Post by craiga »

Hi All,
Just upgraded motherboard, CPU and RAM, and did fresh install of Mint. All was fine and working until i rebooted after some updates. I can no longer see available wifi connections to pick from. I found a thread (mine) in the past where i downloaded "wireless-info" and ran it. Any help is greatly appreciated. Right now i am USB tethered to my phone to post this request for help, again. Here's the results:

I don't get it. I changed RAM and booted up, and magically it's working again. This OS is wacky sometimes :)
