@MikeR: Thanks. I downloaded the missing bin files as you explained in #7 and get rid of the errors. However, my wifi was NOT coming back under kernel 5.11.x (still worked fine when booting 5.8.x) In my case (Broadcom BCM4313 802.11ac), I had to install a different (backported) version of the bcmwl-kernel-source package, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/1356061/bcm4352-802-11ac-wireless-network-adapter-not-working-on-kernel-5-11-and-ubuntu -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1938983 Title: missing modules after 5.11.0-25-generic update To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1938983/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@FairMiles: after experimenting: Missing files may be downloaded, see #7 and #8 above. This solution DID NOT solve the WiFi failure.

[Bug 1938983] Re: missing modules after 5.11.0-25-generic update
possible workaround: open https://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/linux-firmware/i915/ and then either 1. select the missing files and download them to /lib/firmware/i915/ or 2. download the entire directory to a temporary location, and create a shell file from the list of missing files to copy only the missing files to /lib/firmware/i915 (thats what I did, as it seemed safer) then try "$ sudo update-initramfs -u -k all" (without the quotes.) NOT a clean solution, but it got rid of the error messages.

found what seemed like the correctly named files, downloaded and placed them in /lib/firmware/i915/ Now update-initramfs runs with no errors, but when I plug in my USB rtl8188 wifi device 1. No WiFi connection 2. various (e.g. firefox, wavemon) do not start, terminal locks and the only recourse is a reboot. So I've definitely done something wrong.
