A few words about the status of this bug.

I do respect your wish to NOT «reopen» it. However, the qualification
«resolved» is simply not right - the bug is far from resolved. That's why, I
have changed the status of the bug to «reported» instead of «resolved».

However, as you suggest, I am sharing now this bug «downstream». It is not
possible, according to you, to solve the issue at the level of KDE.
«Downstream» means in my case: experts and experienced users of Kubuntu -
especially those who deal with WIFI and Bluetooth. I have already started a
conversation with a few amongst them about this issue. However, before sharing
this report more widely amongst Kubuntu experts and users, I need to make this
report more complete. That's why, I have added some extra screeenshots as well
as this 3 May update.

I need to add here two things more. First of all, it has become clear to me
that at my system, there is a similar problem with Bluetooth. That's why, I
deal with it in more detail in this update.

Finally - terminal reports indeed do point at «hard blocks» for both WIFI and
Bluetooth. Also a few Kubuntu expert users I spoke with so far, think in the
same direction, which I understand. On the other hand - Only a few weeks ago, I
have been working with Kubuntu 22.04.4 LTS at exactly the same laptop with the
same hardware and the same BIOS settings. Then, WIFI worked out of the box and
Bluetooth with some hiccups.   I am really not sure whether «hard blocks» are
the core issue. More about this here below in this paragraph.

«(...)
WHAT IS THE CORE ISSUE? HARD BLOCKS AND/OR SOMETHING ELSE?
(..)»

@ Kubuntu expert users.

After checking the settings related to WIFI (and Bluetooth), I ended up filing
a bug report at KDE:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

According to the feedback I got from KDE experts after doing so, the problem is
real. However, those experts say it cannot be solved at the side of KDE. It
needs to be solved «downstream», so at the side of Kubuntu in our case. My
question in this context: how and where exactly can I file a bug report in such
a way, that it will be read and dealt with by Kubuntu expert users who deal
with WIFI and Bluetooth?

A complete update I'll publish here in a few hours.



THE PROBLEM IN BRIEF.


So far, I do not manage to get WIFI enabled by the useful steps at a fresh
install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS, at  this laptop:
Lenovo Thinkpad X230 i5, along with 4 GB RAM, 250 GB SSD. A quick internet
search clarifies me that I am not the only one who deals with this problem.

I do work now with wired internet. However, this wired connection does not help
me to get the WIFI enabled. Ticking the box for enabling WIFI is not possible.
The same applies for Bluetooth. You can see it at the screenshots I have sent
along with this bug report:

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486368

That's why, I have looked for methods to get both WIFI and Bluetooth enabled
via the command line. I do get useful info like that. However, so far, I do not
manage to get WIFI and Bluetooth enabled. Here below, I share with you a
command line output report.
