I think I solved it. Hopefully. After much scouring of the Internets, I stumbled upon what is likely the issue. It seems that quite some time ago (pre 6.0 kernel days) I had installed a github driver for my dongle. I thought I had uninstalled that driver and had been using the kernel driver, but it seems not. In the modprobed folder is the .conf file for this driver. The kernel driver was blacklisted, so I unblacklisted it, rebooted and I am now typing this update from the current kernel 6.2.0-37. YAY!!
I guess this can now be closed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2042000 Title: 6.2.0-36 kills usb wifi Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Installed the kernel update from 6.2.0-35 to 6.2.0-36 today (Oct 30, 2023). After reboot, USB WiFi dongle was no longer recognised. Rebooted into previous kernel (6.2.0-35) and have no issue. Not sure what broke, or if it is a regression of some sort. Also, how to upload the bug as stated below, when booting into that kernel does not allow WiFi connection.
