I accidentally removed drivers or did something to my touchpad, wifi, and ethernet connection.

I have dual boot Ubuntu 22LTS with Windows 10. I was installing nvidia 535 drivers using software & updates -> additional drivers and when I restarted laptop screen was blacked out. Searched for solution mentioning secure boot should be disabled which didn't worked and then according to another solution drivers should be properly installed using command line after purging installed nvidia drivers from root shell in recovery option.

I purged nvidia* and when ubuntu finally got booted and screen showed my touchpad, wifi, ethernet were not working and same are missing from settings. I have tried many solutions none worked for me please help. I am mentioning some information about my current state I got using some commands:

sudo lshw -class network

Screenshot for commands and output for related information

EDIT: result of sudo dpkg -s linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) | grep Status

dpkg-query: package 'linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-76-generic' is not installed and no information is available

Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files.

Edit: Read the similar questions:

and verified running kernel version: uname -r 5.15.0-76-generic

then search for them here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-updates/kernel/ but after finding required package and reaching here: https://packages.ubuntu.com/focal-updates/amd64/linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-76-generic/download I am unable to download it using any of the given link. Please help.

Can you download the package on some other computer and transfer it on a USB key?

When I click on your link, the top link is *mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu*. When I click on that, the package downloads immediately. What happens when you click on it?

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.
