Public bug reported:
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.
