    I hope i'm putting this in the right place. I habitually pop back in to Rhino to see how things are going, big fan of the UBXI kde version as well. Something strange happened this time. using the 2025.4 .ISO, when i install, then i do rpk update, it kills my wifi driver completely. I don't have an ethernet port on my laptop, and i'm on the move a lot these days. I've tried a few different solutions, but can't seem to fix without an internet connection. Just flagging it, as i'm not sure what this is tied to. Maybe the latest Kernel wasn't compatible with my drivers?

      @lupetto3 it is almost certainly due to this recent change: https://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2026/02/ubuntu-26-04-firmware-split

      linux-firmware has been split into the following packages:

      linux-firmware-amd-graphics
      linux-firmware-broadcom-wireless
      linux-firmware-intel-graphics
      linux-firmware-intel-misc
      linux-firmware-intel-wireless
      linux-firmware-marvell-prestera
      linux-firmware-marvell-wireless
      linux-firmware-mediatek
      linux-firmware-mellanox-spectrum
      linux-firmware-misc
      linux-firmware-netronome
      linux-firmware-nvidia-graphics
      linux-firmware-qlogic
      linux-firmware-qualcomm-graphics
      linux-firmware-qualcomm-misc
      linux-firmware-qualcomm-wireless
      linux-firmware-realtek
      

      You will need to install whichever of those -wireless packages applies to your system. We have confirmed this with other users at least in the case of the Intel set.

          Excellent! I have created a GitHub issue for this bug, our next snapshot images will include all firmware by default.
