Public bug reported: After installing backport-iwlwifi-dkms on ubuntu 25.04 on kernel 12.1 based on Bug #2085547, the wifi is working.
However, rfkill still shows wifi as soft blocked and the gui says wifi is disabled. This might be a driver issue specifically for my asus laptop. Attached is the screenshot of gui glitch. My laptop model is asus vivo book s14 q423 (https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-home/vivobook/asus- vivobook-s-14-q423/). # uname -a Linux lunar-vivo 6.12.1-061201-generic #202411221622 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Wed Nov 27 04:16:22 UTC 2024 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux # lspci -nnk | grep -A3 Network 00:14.3 Network controller [0280]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:a840] (rev 10) DeviceName: Onboard - Ethernet Subsystem: Intel Corporation Device [8086:00e4] Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi # sudo grep dmesg | grep iwl [ 2.311800] iwlwifi_compat: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
