User resolves week-long WiFi problem on old MacBook Air after Ubuntu update

Original: et donc j'ai trouvé la solution, après une semaine à galérer avec le téléphone comme modem USB pour l'ordi portable. Ça

A French-speaking user says he solved a week of frustration tethering his phone as a USB modem for his laptop, concluding that a recent Ubuntu update broke compatibility with the WiFi driver of his old 2013 MacBook Air. He says he eventually fixed it using a tool, and shared the experience with others online.

Why now: Ubuntu updates breaking hardware drivers on older machines is a common and relatable problem for Linux users.
