So am I correct then this wasn't even worth a look to see if there was any code that might have changed that could have caused this? If so, I really disagree with the approach of just changing the status, and certainly with no communication, from a quality standpoint. If you all truly don't wish to know when something breaks after a package update, fine, won't spend time reporting things. The thing is, the Ubuntu documentation is full of preachy admonitions to get involved, let us know when there is a problem, showing humanity to one another, blah blah blah. (And no, I'm not a new user even though the profile is new, not looking for a place to get "technical support", I had a previous launchpad account that I deleted, try to guess why).

Using the installed package prior to this update, 20220329.git681281e4-0ubuntu1 (later referenced as *1), does not cause an issue. Ubuntu release: 22.04 When I installed *3, rebooted the next day and internet was no longer available. Checked with the the internet service provider, and connected the ethernet cable to a separate matchine and had connectivity. A boot with live Ubuntu 22.04 USB showed no connectivity issues (which I assume is using *1). Reinstalled a fresh Ubuntu 22.04 and held back *3.3 and now have internet. The only other update made on the day of the update of *3 was wireless-regdb. This package was not held back when I reinstalled Ubuntu 22.04, seems to be causing no issue. **Update** Tried going to *3 package today and internet connectivity works. Maybe there was corruption but received no messages of same the day of the original upgrade.
