this is result of my lshw -C network:

As you can see my AR9485 Wireless Network Adapter is there in the list but when I go to the wifi section, it says no adapter found. It was working just fine on ubuntu 21.04 but after upgrade Ican't get it back to work again!


Also, I have windows 10 running as dual boot. can this be the problem?


Here is the result of modprobe ath9k


modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'ath9k': Invalid argument

Here is the result of grep ath9k /etc/modprobe.d/*


/etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf:options ath9k nohwcrypt=1

And here is the result of sudo dmesg | grep ath::


[   18.864091] ath: Unknown symbol wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory (err -22)
[ 18.864097] ath: disagrees about version of symbol freq_reg_info

This took me five days to fix!!


In response to dmesg, we saw this:


[   18.864097] ath: disagrees about version of symbol freq_reg_info
[ 18.864091] ath: Unknown symbol wiphy_apply_custom_regulatory (err -22)

With the dkms status command, I saw that there are unnecessary extra drivers like backport-iwlwifi-dkms installed for my WIFI which I have added while attempting to solve this.


I got rid of those with purging:


 sudo apt-get purge backport-iwlwifi-dkms 

And then a reboot and voilà, my wifi is working again!
