The checkbox to enable wifi and airplane mode from the network tab completely disappeared for me in kde. I upgraded kernel from 5.10 to 5.11 but that didn’t fix the issue.
The last time I used the wifi - I turned it off and then tried turning it on after about 10 seconds, which caused the UI to freeze for a few seconds and the wifi showed some error notification “Wireless Interface - The wifi network could not be found” (I think this was the error but I cant remember for certain). I was unable to enable the wifi so I rebooted. And then the options completely disappeared. The wifi not working and causing freeze for a few seconds did happen to me before once or twice but the options never disappeared.

Things I installed few mins before were kvantum-manager and some themes.
And no I dont dual boot windows or any other.
I also tried to timeshift to a previous backup(with default settings) but that didn’t solve anything.
Need help.
