6E AX210 PCIE WiFi Card not working on ubuntu 20.04, 5.11 kernel

gs flag

WiFi is not working. Not sure how to fix it. I had same WiFi chip on my older PC where it worked by disabling fast boot. I did disable fast boot but no luck. I've done update.

How to fix it?

Some commands and output:

$uname -r

Have you rebooted router, and tried connecting to that same network with other devices? If you are sure it is your OS software, you should be able to bring it up manually with `nmcli`, but I would troubleshoot thoroughly first. [Here](https://askubuntu.com/questions/1356442/ubuntu-20-04-cannot-connect-to-wifi-wifi-settings-not-visible/1356547#1356547) is an older answer of mine w/ `nmcli` usage listed.

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.
