No wifi adapter found Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Lenovo

in flag

I bought a new laptop (Lenovo thinkbook 15 gen 4) and installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS. It looks like that the kernel does not include the driver for the WiFi adapter.

How can I find out what driver I need ? I already tried what's written here https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/net-wireless-troubleshooting-hardware-check.html.en

Output from "lshw -C network"

I think the above means that the WiFi adapter was not recognized? What can I do to install the drivers and make Ubuntu recognize the WiFi adapter? I know for sure that there is one because the computer was running with windows before and the WiFi worked without any problems.

I solved the problem by looking up the Network adapter model. Then I downloaded the driver and installed it. Now the WIFI is working

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
