How did you upgrade your kernel?
You don't have linux-image-generic installed which is the meta package
that keeps the kernel packages up-to-date. That's the package that
depends on module-extra:
$ apt depends linux-image-generic
linux-image-generic
Depends: linux-image-6.8.0-57-generic
Depends: linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-57-generic
Depends: linux-firmware
Depends: intel-microcode
Depends: amd64-microcode
Recommends: thermald
You should install linux-image-generic.

Title:
linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-57-generic not installed on kernel upgrade
to 6.8.0-57-generic
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Since I updated to 6.8.0-57 I have no WiFi. If I boot back into -56
using the GRUB menu everything is fine. I've attached a kernel log
from a problematic boot. I noticed that it never even mentions my WiFi
driver. It looks like the reason is... the driver ain't there:
❯❯ find /usr/lib/modules -name "*iw*"

/usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-57-generic/kernel/drivers/infiniband/core/iw_cm.ko.zst
(some other drivers seem to be missing too).
I've also attached the output of dpkg --get-selections in case that's
relevant (is the driver part of a separate package perhaps?)
In case anyone else has a similar issue and comes across this: I
believe running `sudo apt-mark hold linux-modules-6.8.0-56-generic`
will ensure the working kernel version doesn't get uninstalled in an
upgrade, so hopefully that will stop you getting stranded.
