I have problem. I haven't Ethernet and wifi on Ubuntu 21.10 (kernel 5.13.0.19-generic). Motherboard: MSI PRO Z690-A WI-FI (Intel® I225-V 2.5Gbps LAN, Intel® Wi-Fi 6 module)

I executed command:

lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3

Result:

Command:

Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: `sudo dmesg | grep iwl` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

I solved this by updating to the 5.15 kernel, using the Tuxinvader PPA.

Hope this helps!

Never mind the below quote which I had previously written; I got a bit confused, the speed is decent.

Important edit: However, I am experiencing issues similar to this user How to change the default kernel Wi-Fi driver? (it’s practically unusable due to the disastrous speed, while better than nothing)

Had the same issue and updating to the latest stable kernel version 5.16 solved it for me. https://askubuntu.com/questions/119080/how-to-update-kernel-to-the-latest-mainline-version-without-any-distro-upgrade

It works out of the box in Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, which comes with the kernel 5.15 (it has the drivers to support this device).

Since 22.04 is not released till April that is not an answer. If kernel 5.15 fixes it upgrade the kernel of 21.10 might be a fix.

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.
