WiFi Broken After Latest Update

Hi all,

After the latest update, my WiFi cannot connect to any network. This has been a serious problem, and I cannot downgrade as there is no network connection. I was wondering what the best way to solve this problem is? Can I update it via a live usb? or how can I downgrade the system?

Thanks for all the help

One option might be to tether to a cell phone.

make sure networkmanager is running systemctl status NetworkManager.service

I’ve tried tethering to a cell phone, the problem seems to be with the OS rather than the network.

I will try that with networkmanager

I’ve checked networkmanager, output below. I was also able to get bluetooth working so not all networks are broken

systemctl status NetworkManager.service
