[Just a quick post to get info in one place, sorry!] Info I have a GPD Pocket: running Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS with a BCM4356 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (PCI ID 14e4:43ec) with some issues: It appears like only 2.4GHz networks are being detected, and not 5GHz networks. That being said, our router is dual-band and I can’t see either network. Attempting to connect to a random 2.4GHz network crashes the network manager (WiFi icon/settings entry disappears, then reappears after a few seconds). dmesg doesn’t seem to contain anything relevant, apart from maybe: /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/netplan failed with exit status 1. Connecting a phone over USB and using USB tethering was working fine when this all started, but that seems to have stopped working too now (: Updates Did the country code change and rebooted, now is displaying 5GHz networks (or at least, my network…) — attempting to connect to it still crashes the network manager. Resolution!!! With some prompting by a littlefox, I dug through journalctl -f a bit deeper and found references to stable-ssid being an invalid macaddress for a given network (i.e. a yaml file in /etc/netplan) — at this point I was getting pissed off so I just rm /etc/netplan/*.yaml and retried connecting to a network… which worked. ...
