+Check Wi-Fi node, if you can find the ''wlo1'' node that means your Wi-Fi works.
+```shell
+$ ifconfig wlo1
+wlo1: flags=4099<UP,BROADCAST,MULTICAST>  mtu 1500
+        ether b0:dc:ef:58:db:3f  txqueuelen 1000  (Ethernet)

+        TX packets 0  bytes 0 (0.0 B)
+        TX errors 0  dropped 0 overruns 0  carrier 0  collisions 0
+```
+===== Troubleshooting =====
+If you upgrade the kernel manually then you may need to [[#download-and-install-the-wi-fi-driver | Download and install the Wi-Fi driver
+]] again to make the Wi-Fi work.
+===== In the end =====
+The Linux kernel ''6.11+'' already supports the AX211 Wi-Fi module, so in the future once we get the Ubuntu official kernel update to ''6.11+'', the Wi-Fi will work and no need the steps above.
