I am running Ubuntu 20.10 in an HP Spectre x360 15" from 2020. Yesterday I started to connect a USB hub during the login screen but I have realized that when I do that, network adapters are not found and therefore I cannot connect through WIFI.
I have the feeling that the kernel might get confused with some of the devices in the USB hub or something like that.
Is there a way to trigger the search/initialization of network adapters?
Does anybody understand why this is happening?
In case it can help; the devices connected to the USB hub are a cooling base for the laptop, a keyboard, a USB Bluetooth device for a wireless mouse and screen light (a light that sits on top of the screen).
Thank you in advance.
p.s. I have found that if I do "sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager" it works again. No clue why this is happening. A bit annoying if I have to do this every time I boot.
