Summary0008369: Suddenly wifi adapter is not working
Description

Suddenly my wifi adapter (Ralink Technology, Corp. MT7601U Wireless Adapter) stopped to working. My interface was wlan1 I can not see it. But I can see it using "lsusb" command. It should be bug, after turning on my pc I realized my pc is not showing my wifi adapter. When It was working I can see it using "ifconfig" command and it's IP address was 192.168.100.206. I am using gnome session settings of wifi has also 2 section to connect wifi, one from pc itself, one from my wifi adapter. Now It is only 1.
Overall my wifi adapter disappeared from my pc, but I can see it from "lsusb" command

What I tried:
Tried to restart: pc, networking service, NetworkManager service
tried to log out and power off. None of them worked

Additional Information

This bug is growing because I tried to ask help from discord community of kali then I realized I am not alone with this problem. They said it should be bug and I have to report it.

It should be fixed with version 20230515-2+kali1 of package firmware-misc-nonfree, which just landed in kali-rolling. I will take a few hours until it reaches the mirrors.

So, please update your system ( sudo apt update && sudo apt full-upgrade ) until you see that firmware-misc-nonfree is upgraded to version 20230515-2+kali1. Then reboot, I guess.

Thank you for attention, I am using only "sudo apt update" after using full-upgrade I saw firmware-misc-nonfree. After upgrading and restarting my pc problem is gone!
