I have a new Lenovo ThinkPad X13 Gen 6 and installed Zorin 18 Pro worked great for a week and then my wifi stopped working. I am not sure why the wifi driver is no longer accessable or it is gone. I can startup the unit using my USB bootable disk and the wifi driver is there. This happened before and I just did a new clean install but I would like to find a way to repair the problem for good and not have to reload all my printer drivers and other updates.
I run zorin@zorin:~$ sudo lshw -C network

Go back to kernel 6.14.
At grub menu select "advanced options for Zorin" (if it isn't displayed at boot press continuosly esc key during boot to show the grub menu), and then select kernel 6.14 to boot from.
Test if it helps. If you have wifi then, you can set this kernel as default to boot.
An alternative is shown here to download a iwlwifi driver package for kernel 6.17:
I'd first try to go back to kernel 6.14, that's easier.
