ADDITIONAL INFORMATION - UPDATE THURSDAY 2 MAY 2024.
====================================================
Bug 486369, https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=486369, has been remarked as a
duplicate of this one. However, the text of that «duplicate» bug is much more
complete then this one before me submitting this update. Anyway, it was not my
intention to submit two bugs about the same issue. But because of some mistake
at my side, I unintentionally submitted two bug reports.
Here below, I share an edited and updated version of the bug report that is
complete in my opinion, hower a «duplicate».
SUMMARY
======
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.
You can see it at the screenshot I send with this report.
That's why, I have looked for methods to get WIFI enabled via the command line.
No result. At this output report, you can see why:

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
=================
1. The graphical check down under - trying to tick the box to enable WIFI. See
also attached screenshot.
2. Command line checks summarised here - see here above. See also the two links
for more info.
OBSERVED RESULT
==============
Both checks did NOT end up in enabling WIFI.
EXPECTED RESULT
==============
Enabling WIFI should need to be possible via either command line or the
graphical approach.

Yesterday, Wednesday 1 May 2024, a comment came in about this passage in my
report:
> bas@Camino:~$ rfkill list
> 0: tpacpi_bluetooth_sw: Bluetooth
> Soft blocked: yes
> Hard blocked: yes
> 1: phy0: Wireless LAN
> Soft blocked: no
> Hard blocked: yes
This is the comment I point at:
«(...)
If it is hardblocked, it cannot be enabled in software. E.g., see
https://askubuntu.com/questions/98702/how-to-unblock-something-listed-in-rfkill
Unfortunately this seems like a downstream configuration issue and I would
suggest asking for help on the distribution forums.
(...)»
I get this point. It needs to be resolved «downstream», at Kubuntu related
forums in my case. However, I still consider this bug as unresolved. That's
why, I reopen it.
I gonna ask for advise at two of such Kubuntu forums. I'll point at both of
them at this bug report. If some useful advise comes in, I'll share it also
here.
Yours.
