Updated FW13 bios to 3.22, and now Wifi doesn't work in Aurora

Quick bit of context.

I had to dual boot into Windows 11 in order to update the bios on my Framework laptop to the latest 3.22 (no option to update this version in Linux).

All seems well, but the wifi isn’t working in Aurora. It works in Windows, and bluetooth works in Aurora, but not wifi.

Any ideas to get it working again?

I found the solution, in what has to be one of the “I had no idea this could even happen!” moments.

From the Framework forums: https://community.frame.work/t/solved-bios-3-17-and-dual-boot-wifi/31424/2

"I found a suggestion to turn off WiFi in Windows prior to hibernating. That did it! I am satisfied and can easily incorporate that into my processes when I want to hibernate Windows and go to Linux.

All I had to do before hibernation was turn off Wifi in Windows."

And so, I booted back into Windows, turned off the Wifi, went back into Aurora, and it’s back.

Incredible how these things can happen. I hope this helps someone else who’s had the same problem.
