No Wifi adapter found in Zorin 17

Good morning.

I just installed Zorin OS 17 Core in my laptop. I came from Windows, with all drivers and adapters working perfectly, but in this case, the WiFi adapter is not found. I'm connecting via ethernet in the meantime I found the solution.

I have been reading a lot of topics, but no one is working for me. I have secure boot disabled. I paste the following output of the sudo lshw -c network command. I can see it detected my WiFi adapter, but then, I can't connect to my home WiFi network, because the WiFi option doesn't appear.

~$ sudo lshw -c network

To finish, I attach one image of the network WiFi settings, and as you can see, the WiFi option doesn't appear.

Thank you in advance, and don't hesitate on contacting me if more information is needed.
Regards.

Have you tried

sudo modprobe iwlwifi

Do you dual boot with Windows OS?

Good morning.

Finally it worked by its own. Yesterday I went to bed without wifi option in settings and today it worked, even yesterday I reboot several times the PC.

But thank you so much for the information!! @Aravisian
