    Wireless (RT5392 PCIe) fails after kernel update to 6.5.0-28-generic

    Hi There

    After a recent kernel update from 6.5.0-27-generic to 6.5.0-28-generic, the wireless on my Ubuntu 22.04 system has stopped working.

    Here is some brief information about the wireless adapter from lspci:
    Code:
    Network controller: Ralink corp. RT5392 PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
    Subsystem: D-Link System Inc RT5392 PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
    I have used the wireless-info script to get details of my system running both the old (6.5.0-27) and new (6.5.0-28) kernels.
    wireless-info for kernel 6.5.0-27-generic
    https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/KB47X97Pd6/

    wireless-info for kernel 6.5.0-28-generic
    https://pastebin.ubuntu.com/p/3cDWQbJbcj/

    Currently, I am using the 6.5.0-27-generic kernel as a short term solution to have working wireless.
    Can anyone provide any advice, or point me to any information, on how to resolve this wireless issue with the 6.5.0-28-generic kernel?

    Cheers
    Andrew Mc

    Try

    sudo modprobe -v rt2800pci

    and afterwards

    dmesg | grep rt2

    linux-modules is installed for kernel 28?

    The output from: sudo modprobe -v rt2800pci
    Code:
    modprobe: FATAL: Module rt2800pci not found in directory /lib/modules/6.5.0-28-generic
    There was no output (or the output was blank) from: sudo dmesg | grep rt2

    Yes, linux-modules is installed for 6.5.0-28-generic, but not linux-modules-extra as shown below.
    The output from: apt list --installed | grep linux-modules
    Code:
    linux-modules-6.5.0-26-generic/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.5.0-26.26~22.04.1 amd64 [installed,auto-removable]
    linux-modules-6.5.0-27-generic/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.5.0-27.28~22.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]
    linux-modules-6.5.0-28-generic/jammy-updates,jammy-security,now 6.5.0-28.29~22.04.1 amd64 [installed,automatic]

    Boot into 27 and install 28-extra

    Installing linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-28-generic solved the problem!
    Thank you so much for the help.

    Incidentally, this has also fixed an issue I was having with drivers for my Nvidia graphics card.

    Hi Andrew,
    I was confronted yesterday with a similar problem (or just the same).
    I had no WLAN and the mouse pad stopped working (mouse over USB worked)

    Starting Ubuntu with the 27er kernel everything works again and I also have a Nvidia graphic card and the driver gets messed up basically with each update.

    Could you please explain how did you manually update the kernel?
    And after that did you just need to start Ubuntu as usual without having to select anything special?

    I tried with APT and apparently nothing was updated:

    alessandro@alessandro-Legion-Y540-17IRH-PG0:~$ sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-28-generic
    [sudo] password for alessandro:
    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree... Done
    Reading state information... Done
    linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-28-generic is already the newest version (6.5.0-28.29~22.04.1).
    linux-modules-extra-6.5.0-28-generic set to manually installed.
    The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required:
    libllvm13 libllvm13:i386 libnvidia-egl-wayland1 libvulkan1:i386 libwayland-client0:i386
    mesa-vulkan-drivers:i386
    Use 'sudo apt autoremove' to remove them.
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.
    alessandro@alessandro-Legion-Y540-17IRH-PG0:~$





    Thanks in advance!

    Anyway after a restart it works properly (mouse, WLAN and even Nvidia driver) without selectin any special option.
    Thanks again, I would just undertand it a bit better.

    P.S.

    With the Nvidia driver I had (again) to select a different one because a few things didn´t work (light control, night mode and first of all the wake up after sleep).
