Not working Wi-Fi on Ubuntu 20.04.3

cn flag

I have Lenovo Ideapad 5 with AMD Ryzen 5 CPU for around 2 months, running Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.3 LTS 64-bit. The Wi-Fi section in settings is missing. I can't connect to the internet via internal Wi-Fi card. I have been using external Wi-Fi adapter and docking station as temporary alternative.

Linux 5.11.0-38-generic x86_64

I don't know which one is the correct and which not. How can i fix this to make it works? What am I supposed to do to fix laptop Wi-fi?

Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list` terminal command.

Please edit to include results from terminal for `lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net` as it might be that new 8859 or whatever that needs rtw89

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
