[lubuntu-devel] Hirsute update/upgrade of 794 packages affects wifi network manager??

[Fritz Hudnut]

James:

Traditionally haven't found the forums to be super quick on "Apple
problems" . . . if they can figure out that the problem is on an apple the
admins move the thread off the main forum and into the Siberia of
sub-forums, "apple hardware user" . . . then it all goes into slo-mo . . . .

But Dan S found that another couple of folks posted a bug report . . .
looks identical to what I found. I added myself into the mix on that one.
Found the same problem on my '12 desktop in Lu 21.04 . . . couldn't "add
the device" which is the same device as in the laptop, at all in Add'L
Drivers, it errored out there as well.
