I'm trying to set up a dual boot of Windows 11 and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS for the first time. Everything seemed fine after the installation, and I even updated Ubuntu using 'sudo apt update; sudo apt upgrade -y.' However, after rebooting, my network drivers seem completely broken. I've tried starting the Network Manager service with 'sudo systemctl start NetworkManager' and reinstalling the network manager package, but nothing has worked so far. I'm also downloading the 25.10 version just in case. Any suggestions?

Have you considered booting into the oldest kernel you installed? Sometimes newer kernels can cause issues with certain hardware, and going back to a previous one might resolve your networking problems.
You might want to check if your networking is enabled in the terminal. Try entering 'nmcli networking on' and see if that helps.
It's strange to hear that your network drivers are broken after the reboot. For some Wi-Fi adapters, you might need additional packages for closed source firmware. Can you try connecting via a wired Ethernet cable? Also, if possible, share the output of 'nmcli connection' or 'nmcli device' to help diagnose the issue further.
