Network connection broken since 6.8.0-54 kernel

**[EDIT]**Update to 6.8.0-54 kernel today, then no network connection.

Forced to back to previous kernel (6.8.0-53) to get network connection.

There is docs.ubuntu.com with Netplan, maybe something broken: netplan status, but if some ppp connection needed there is NM for that, broken modules or such things is often out of tree modules… You have your connection provider, it should know what to do even if not on BBS boards yet :peanuts::hot_pepper::corn: and if that case The Linux Documentation Project is in revival since 2000 era…

What results from terminal for dpkg -l | grep 6.8.0-53

Oh sorry I mixed up -54 and -53 ! (I edited the thread)

So no network connection, since 6.8.0-54 .
And 6.8.0-53 (and previous) is working.

In terminal from the working kernel sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-6.8.0-54-generic then reboot

You’re right, that’s it.

Why is it missing ? (no problem on previous kernel update)

Do you have the linux-generic package installed ? that is the top-level metapackage for all kernel bits and should usually care for getting all depending other kernel packages upgraded during updates …

Ok. Now I see: linux-generic was missing because of a deal with amd64-micro code after cpu change. All right now, thanks all.
