A few weeks ago, my wifi signal was bad. I've set a few options in /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf
and I've got a little improvement. Now my signal started again to drop randomly, and I've tried to install backport-iwlwifi
. Now the Wifi icon doesn't appear at all, and when I check 'settings -> Wifi' I get the following message: No WiFi Adapter Found.
When I try sudo modprobe -r ath9k
I get modprobe: FATAL: Module ath9k is in use.
That has never happened to me.
I've tried to reinstall ath9k
and Linux firmware, but it didn't work.
My Linux: 5.3.0-51-generic #44~18.04.2-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 23 14:27:18 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
.
I don't know what info may help, so here are a few of them:
