WiFi adapter does not working on machine's clone

ve flag

I configured a machine with Ubuntu 20.04 and all worked fine. Then I created an image with Clonezilla and restored it on an identical machine.

On the clone, the WiFi adapter is not available anymore:

$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no

$ nmcli device

I Google for error "-61" of iwlwifi but I found nothing useful.

Is there anything I have to do on a cloned machine to make the WiFi available?

Is there anything else I could check?

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.
