Beginner: New Ubuntu install - Wifi card issue (sh.itjust.works)

Hello,

I've been trying to do my first stride in Linux's world by installing Ubuntu on my laptop (Lenovo X1 Carbon 3rd Gen) to replace W10 who was working well but is loosing support soon.

Well the test result is... unclear. Ubuntu itself is fast and working rather well but... my Wifi card seem to have problem with Ubuntu.

Before giving up and re-installing W10 I'm trying to find help to solve this issue. I created a full description of the issue on the Ubuntu forum, here: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/lenovo-x1-carbon-ubuntu-24-04-03-lts-no-wireless-connection-error-activation-of-network-connection-failed/69286

Any help would be very appreciated

Edit: After trying the suggestion below to power down and remove the battery without any success, I'll try to use a "windows to go" w10 USB drive to try to change the WiFi card power settings as suggested in some other answers.

So just in case this is helpful I have an x13 but when I was installing any version (tried a few) I had to use a single-band network (5ghz only in this case, had it for other reasons already) because the installer would just never report it was connected to the network even though it was, I had assumed it was that my multi-band network also included 6ghz. Either way though, this seemed to be only an issue for the installer and when it booted up after install I could use the multi-band network just fine. It currently has 24.04 on it and it is fine.
