Got this when installing the new kernel:

After restarting the wifi no longer works. I tried rolling back to kernel 6.15.4, but that didn’t fix the issue.

This is how the network manager is complaining:

This thread led me to find the connection between ssl and wifi

I tried reinstalling openssl with no luck.

fresh reinstall it is :frowning:

Fresh install was a breeze and I’m back on track.

I guess I didn’t update the bios bc when I ran the commands again it was updated for real this time. Not sure if the fwupdmgr commands not working is related, but oh well.
