Boot into the latest kernel where the wireless doesn’t work. Run the command:

uname -r

Make careful note of the exact kernel version; as an example, 5.15.0-99-generic.

Also run:

sudo dpkg -s linux-modules-extra-$(uname -r) | grep Status

I am quite confident that you’ll find that the package is not installed.

Boot back into the earlier kernel version where the wireless does work and run:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install linux-modules-extra-5.15.0-99-generic

Of course, substitute the kernel version you noted above.

After the installation is complete, reboot. You should be all set.
