wireless - Updated to kernel 4.8.4-wifi no longer connects - Ask Ubuntu
i'm very new linux. downloaded , installed new kernel, 4.8.4, , wifi shows "enable networking" doesn't connect anything. i'm not sure
installing unsupported kernel not idea (except need specific fix implemented there).
now, wifi working again, should remove new kernel. open terminal , type:
sudo apt-get autoremove linux-image-4.8.4... #(press <kbd>tab</kbd> autocomplete)
sudo apt-get autoremove linux-headers-4.8.4... #(press <kbd>tab</kbd> again)
and last very important
sudo update-grub
now reboot, old kernel (if haven't removed meanwhile, in case, need download , install old kernel manually.)
edit
