After my previous networking woes got fixed (No (easy) networking after upgrade to Xubuntu 20.04.1 LTS) I have swapped over to Ubuntu Studio. The 22.04.01 LTS release recommends a clean install, which I have done, and... you guessed it I now need to do sudo ip link set dev wlp7s0 down && dhclient wlp7s0 after every boot to get a fully working connection (without doing this some sites such as Google, are accessible, others, such as AskUbuntu(!) are not).

Results of wireless info script are linked below (split into two parts).

I've spotted that lsmod output points out that the driver that's been installed for me is related to the rtl8192ce, so I don't know if that is my issue, and I'm not sure how to 'force' the correct driver to be used. [In the past I've used the RTL8188CE drivers published by FreedomBen on GitHub but they are presently not compiling: https://github.com/FreedomBen/rtl8188ce-linux-driver/issues/157 ]

Edit 2:

$ sudo cat /var/lib/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.state
[main]
NetworkingEnabled=true
WirelessEnabled=true
WWANEnabled=true

After a lot of digging around, I noticed that there were some people questioning the built-in DHCP client of NetworkManager, and after reading the docs, I have added:

dhcp=dhclient

To the [main] section of /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf.

Since doing this everything has been working just fine.
