So i updated the system and a few minutes after installation i reboot, my wireless doesn’t work anymore but ethernet cable still works, sorry for the lack of info.
lspci shows that my network adapter is MEDIATEK Corp. MT7921 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
here’s dmesg

Wireless still doesn’t work by booting to older kernels.
i have tried updating to 5.19.15 but it still doesn’ work.
1.Open nautilus
2. Ctrl + L
3. in the box that opened type admin:///usr/lib/firmware/mediatek/
4.find file WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin.xz
5.right click and extract
6.ready bin file is extracted
If devs read this Mediatek driver was in archive and it shouldn’t be there it should be unpacked
Cause linux wants to read .BIN file
No one knows ,why you haven’t got mediatek directory
it should be like for me
maybe cause of upgrade from previous version that didn’t contain mediatek directory

ah right, i was trying to fix my nvidia issue the other day (not solved yet until now) and that when the wireless stops working.
Note: Be aware of similar file names ex: board.bin | Board-2.bin
And To Make drivers working put them in right catalogs
ex:if error contains: mediatek/something.bin
Then something.bin Needs to be in mediatek directory
