Cannot connect to OpenVPN or Wireguard after updating wifi driver

ru flag

I think I have messed up my network driver and hence it has messed up OpenVPN and WireGuard installations.

My laptop gets disconnected pretty often from the Wifi, and it was driving me crazy. So I checked for a solution and somehow came up with this driver, I'm still not sure whether my network card really fits this model or not.

Anyway after installing this using the manual procedure, I cannot connect to Wireguard or OpenVPN anymore. I have tried uninstalling them both, and uninstalling the driver, but to no avail. I think there is a certain mismatch between the network adapter and openvpn? Maybe it's a bug in the kernel? This is the output of uname -r:

5.13.0-27-generic

My OS is Kubutn 20.04 LTS.

Is there anyway to revert network adapter and all the network components to the initial settings?

This is the output of lshw -class network:

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.
