Beginner: New Ubuntu install - Wifi card issue (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I've been trying to do my first stride in Linux's world by installing Ubuntu on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen) to replace W10 who was working well but is loosing support soon.

Well the test result is... unclear. Ubuntu itself is fast and working rather well but... my Wifi card seem to have problem with Ubuntu.

Before giving up and re-installing W10 I'm trying to find help to solve this issue. I created a full description of the issue on the Ubuntu forum, here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lenovo-x1-carbon-ubuntu-24-04-03-lts-no-wireless-connection-error-activation-of-network-connection-failed/69286

Any help would be very appreciated

Edit: After trying the suggestion below to power down and remove the battery without any success, I'll try to use a "windows to go" w10 USB drive to try to change the WiFi card power settings as suggested in some other answers.

the answers over there are wild... got no experience with windows in the last decade, but how's that a thing, what the wifi has nvram or something so it has to be power-starved? why would it have that? never heard of it, can anybody shed some light?

sorry OP can't help, that shoulda been the plugandplayest thing out there - intel wifi in a thinkpad.
