I recently started using ubuntu 20.04, I connected it to my 2.4ghz Wi-Fi, at first the wifi worked fine, but suddenly the wifi stopped connecting, and after a few seconds it said "unable to activate network". I checked the "additional drivers tab" and it showed my wifi adapter, but it said "this device is using an alternate driver".
right now I'm using my 5ghz Wi-Fi network, but sometimes it happens that it stops working, usually after suspend.
UPDATE #1: Apparently it's working now, I suppose it's from an update. Anyways I guess it's fixed.
UPDATE #2: it's broken again
UPDATE #3: after checking the error a long time I've realized that this error happens when I leave it suspended it for a long time, it is fixed by doing about 3-4 restarts. I'm going to try to use a code that restarts the network-service after suspend, I'll see if it works.
UPDATE #4 (probably final update): the error can be fixed temporarily by turning off and then on the router,i'm going to contact my network provider to see if the error can be fixed by configuring the router.
UPDATE #5: after upgrading to Groovy the issue still persists, I really hope this can be fixed, I don't want to have to move to another distro
