No Network after Update

[Tim Lofstrom]

Software Updater ran on 2 Dec 2022
(last run the day prior as well: then successfully)
it download updates -security and ?
It installed a new kernel?
Then
it prompted to do another update right away. downloading more.
I complied

Then
it prompted to do another update right away. already downloaded, cleaning up kernels not needed if I remember correctly.

... forget how many times this repeated. I was writing not giving it nuch attention.
I noticed a statement that it also needed to reboot for previous installed updates.
I rebooted.

NETWORK was gone, no wireless, then no network card, then no network manager, as I searched for an alternate network connection (with the only connection I have:a cell phone: ie USB cable, Bluetooth)
I rebooted, finally into Grub, into a previous kernel.
All works.
waited a day.
Did updates again with Software Updater.
New update there so I followed through.
Rebooted into default (no grub displayed).
NETWORK is gone, no manager etc.
Rebooted back to the previous kernel via Grub
4 or so Grub entries for the new kernel are gone

old kernel still works (or I could not send this)

System Information:
Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS (fresh install a month ago)

Source package = don't know (sorry, MCSE NT4 but Ubuntu is a steep learning curve and I'm old, and homeless, living in the woods off grid, not a lot of resources and time is for working to survive - and write)

What I hope is that some update soon will wipe out the bad kernels and leave the working one, with perhaps an updated working one, one with network etc.
Handy would be have a way to set the working kernel as the default. (probably is somehow?)
Thanks for the backstep to the working kernel!!!

Note from the photo, and after learning a bit (though not enough) it probably is quite significant:
The kernel was updated from 5.15.0-56-generic to 5.15.0-1025-oracle.
This is not an oracle machine anything. Only using ZFS : that might be related?

I have set grub to boot the working kernel.
How to keep from losing it on an update, with the -oracle as the backup?
