Public bug reported: release: januar13 daily build of 21.04. kernel says 5.8.0-25 expected: that laptop's built-in wifi adapter is recognised during a fresh install. actual: the system does not seem to recognise the laptop's builtin wifi during install, and comes up claiming no wifi adapter could be found. version: I have no idea which package this relates to, I assume the kernel?, but I guess it may also have something to do with installing (?)
The reason I'm not reporting this directly from the laptop, is precisely because the network adapter is not recognised... I'm installing daily build jan 13 of ubuntu desktop 21.04. The laptop model is northern european Asus Zenbook UX433F (unfortunately, several UX433F* variants exist.) There are no errors (?), it just doesn't register the wifi network adapter during install. I have been running Ubuntu 20 on this machine until now, with the network working OK, to my knowledge. I'll be happy to report details of the bug again and in other ways, if only I could figure out how. I get lost in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs, which seems to assume me to see some sort of crash or error. I could maybe reinstall version 20 on the machine, to extract info on how the network adapter used to be determined? Ironically, the reason I'm installing U21, is because the touchpad support works horribly on Asus-Ux433, in U20, and I read somewhere this has been fixed in the upcoming Ubuntu. Lo and behold, the touchpad now seems to work perfectly, but at the loss of the network adapter.. I'm pretty sure this is a bug, because a default recognised network adapter is pretty much baseline expected in year 2021, and it's been working with all other linux distros I've tried on the machine so far. It's a recent 2019 design, so I would expect it to work. ** Affects: linux-kernel-di-amd64-2.6 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: network ux433f wifi -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1911650 Title: builtin wifi not seen by 21.04-jan-13 on asus-ux433f To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-kernel-di-amd64-2.6/+bug/1911650/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
