(NOTE: the original title of this question was "Wi-Fi not working after motherboard replacing", but I changed it since I discovered it was not the cause of the problem)
I have a HP Probook 455 G9 with Xubuntu 22.04 and I installed Wi-Fi drivers from https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89
They worked, but after a week, my PC won't ever boot. HP assistance promptly sent me a technician who replaced my laptop's motherboard. After that, my Wi-Fi does not work properly anymore: it correctly detects Wi-Fi networks, even connects with one of them for a few seconds, then it suddenly disconnects and does not even detect any network anymore.
This is the last part of the log before it stops working:

I tried to run, in the rtw98 drivers folder, sudo make uninstall then make and sudo make install, but it did not work anyway. It says mac init fail, but how comes it works in a first moment, even for a short time?
I hope I don't have to reinstall Xubuntu, because it would mean to reinstall all the programs I use for work and sync a lot of stuff again.
It is probably not a hardware issue, since it properly works under Windows.
My lshw output also states:

Sorry for it being in Italian, but anyway I think it should be comprehensible: "NON RECLAMATO" means "UNCLAIMED" (I'm not sure it would be translated that way in English as a technical term).
So it looks like the rtw89_8852be is pointing to a generical "Wireless Interface" instead of the "RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller", I wonder if it is right... Maybe is that the problem?
