How to fix "modprobe: FATAL: Module p80211 not found" Ubuntu Server?
Today, when restarting the home server (Ubuntu Server 20.04), I noticed that it takes a long time to reboot. I switched to it (on the second video input of the monitor), and it hangs for a long time on raising the network (wlan0).
A Chinese wi-fi usb whistle is plugged into it, configured as an access point to distribute the Internet over the air.
I looked in the logs and there is this:
