Anyone familiar with the issue? It seems my internal network card has disappeared.
This can happen while the kernel gets changed, that some software/drivers are not available straight from the beginning. Mostly because the software/driver is not opensource. Then it takes more time to debug an issue.
In the mean time that you can continue to work, I propose to boot in to an older kernel.
Pressing Shift or Esc while starting should bring up the boot entries. There you select a kernel smaller than six. 5.19.16 is the last from 5.19.
If you run with the older kernel,
could you please give us more info’s as :
inxi -Fzx in terminal and post the output as </> Preformatted text here.
If you still have the live iso/usb please use this to start your system. Then make the inxi -n to see how the network adapter is named and which driver is used.

Have you observed on the Lenovo page if there is an update for your bios/uefi ?
Looks quite old. It is possible that the newer kernel this way not recognizes your system correctly.
There is a BIOS 1.17 update and I am on 1.15 but I don’t have Windows to run the update executable.
I’m not sure what to do about that.
On the other hand, after rebooting somehow the PCI network interface BCM4352 was discovered and WiFi functionality reappeared and started working on kernel 6.0.5-200.fc36.x86_64.
I’m very grateful for the WiFi returning to function, but I’m afraid I won’t know how to replicate the solution.
I also tried blacklisting some modules in /etc/modprobe.d/99-local.conf:
I did a clean Fedora 37 install to 6.0.8-300.fc37.x86_64.
After going through the above solutions and confirming it works, I notice after the PC goes to sleep and turned back on the BCM4352 network adapter disappears again. Even after reboot it’s still not functioning.

I uninstalled and reinstalled broadcom-wl and rebooted, but it’s still not recognized.
