So, I guess that there's something wrong with the drivers, since after a research i saw that for some reason that Wireless Network adapter is not working in Ubuntu.

I followed this instructions [https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/] but didn't solve anything. I'm very lost, from what i read i have to blackl list a driver, but i don't know if i did it right. Please help, I'm a beginner, and I don't have much people around to ask, I'm doing my internship in cybersec but doing sysadmin tasks and have almost 0 help or advice.

Look at the network logs with the terminal command: `sudo journalctl -b 0 -u NetworkManager`. Read `man journalctl`.

I suggest that you remove the needless Broadcom driver: `sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source` Also, please edit your question to show the result of: `rfkill list all` and: `cat /etc/netplan/*.yaml` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu.

"i do not have Broadcom driver, the driver is rtw_8852ae" Please see your readings above: "Kernel modules: wl, rtw_8852ae" The module *wl* is a Broadcom driver. Confirm: `modinfo wl` Please remove it as I suggested.

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.
