Comment 22 for bug 1757008

I ran into this bug with today's update to kernel 4.15.0-29. I had no problem previously using the 4.15.0-24 kernel. The bug reporter automatically directed me to this bug report. I see similar issues, where my wifi adapter seems to have disappeared. I have not yet tried the workaround.

The relevant part of the message:
