First, let's troubleshoot why your wifi became not detected. Please edit your question to show the results of these terminal commands: `lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3` and also: `sudo dmesg | grep b43` and finally: `rfkill list all` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

Since you have an Atheros wireless device, there is no need to install Broadcom firmware. Let's diagnose a bit more. Please show us: `sudo modprobe ath10k_pci` and also: `sudo dpkg -s linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) | grep Status`

**sudo modprobe ath10k_pci** /response was/: modprobe: FATAL: Module ath10k_pci not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.0-34-generic ----------------------- --------------------------- **sudo dpkg -s linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) | grep status** /response was/: dpkg-query: package 'linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-34-generic' is not installed and no information is available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

How i could install it, install linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-34-generic and the internet not detected ? and what are the steps i should do to boot into an earlier kernel version at the GRUB menu?! I have dual boot(debian and ubuntu) can those steps if i do them at the Grub affect debian !

Interrupt the boot process by pressing the right Shift key repeatedly. Under Ubuntu Advanced Options, select an earlier kernel version than 5.11.0-34. Press Enter to boot into it where your wireless will be working. then: `sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-5.11.0-34-generic` After it is finished, reboot as normal and you should be all set.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
