I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu Server 22.04.2 and my wifi card seems to be recognized but I can't see any available networks in the list that appears when triggering the settings UI in Gnome
enter image description here
I looked up various solutions for this issue and doesn't seem like my situation fits any, could someone help me debug the issue?
Troubleshooting steps:
> nmcli device
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
wlp4s0 wifi disconnected --
enp5s0 ethernet unmanaged --
lo loopback unmanaged --
then I tried
> rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
2: hci1: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: no

the troubleshooter suggested I look into the hardware so I did that too
> sudo lshw -C network
