Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
Desktop Environment (if applicable)
GNOME
Problem Description
Settings → Network is missing the option to connect to wireless networks.
Problem started around 2 days ago and right now I am using my mobile device to tether to the internet. Before the problem started, I was messing around with chown -R user /usr/
which I had believed to have fixed with https://askubuntu.com/a/471503
From what I’ve read, reinstalling the OS or moving to a different kernel may be my only options.

What I’ve Tried
Rebooting to older kernel from BIOS, 6.8.0.139 to 6.8.0.138
Booting from recovery mode and then turning on networking.
