Lenovo Ideapad Gaming-3 15ACG6 with AMD Ryzen™ 4000H APU
I tried this driver https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89, with make install, but it still don't see any option to enable wireless.
I love the new OS and looking forward to having wifi enabled.
Please advise.
Did you check the function combination that enables/disables wifi? As I understand it if the API was changed in the kernel, which Ubuntu did so effects Zorin, than it will be buggy. Basically it will be hit or miss to work. You can use the terminal to enable and disable the card as well:
Get the name of the interface:
ifconfig
sudo ifconfig <your-wifi-interface> enable
If ifconfig doesn't work, you could try iwconfig .
To disable you would use disable at the end of the same command.
As of kernel 5.12 there still isn't a fix for this. You can change out your wifi card for an older model until support is provided. And this driver doesn't support IPv6 as of yet either.
Also, please check Zorin App Menu > Settings > Wifi
Don't forget to enable it after the installation. In Terminal:
cd rtw89
sudo modprobe rtw89pci
Also, please do let me know if you achieve a stable WiFi connection, as I have the same adapter and lose internet access every few minutes.

The lo is loopback address. It's not seeing the wifi card because the driver isn't being used.
The last driver might still be loading. Try:
sudo update-initramfs -u -k all
To rebuild and use the new driver.
I've read ip is used for network devices as the successor to ifconfig
Yes, it is...iwcofig also works without any installations required in zorin.
Did the initramfs update work?

I worry I'm leaving out some information you need. Please question me and let me know what assumptions you have so I can confirm each.

I did 'Search' in "Settings" and found "Wifi". WIthin the dialog there is toggle for 'Airplane' mode and beneath that a big 'question mark' with "No Wi-Fi Adapter Found, make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on"
The wireless network device is not being detected. Interface enp2so is the ethernet hardwire device and interface lo is used for downloading/reading files that are already hosted on your device for example, an apache web server.
You'll need to install a proper driver as a kernel module.
You may start with installing dkms (dynamic kernel module support), and be sure the kernel-headers are installed as well
Thanks Jacques.
Please detail command line which does the steps you recommend.
Sry, I'm still Linux n00b
Open terminal with keyboard shortcut ctrl+alt+t and then paste in each of the following, one at a time.
git clone GitHub - lwfinger/rtw89: Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device -b v5
cd rtw89
make
sudo make sign-install
Make is the name of a Program, actually. You are calling on Make to configure and install the workings of the software.

Is iwconfig how we can know if wifi is working?
stan@stan-Gaming3-15ACH6:~/rtw89$ iwconfig
lo no wireless extensions.
enp2s0 no wireless extensions.
I am sorry for the delay - there were things that needed my immediate attention here.
Try sudo make install, instead.
cd rtw89
make
sudo make install

Ok, can you reboot the computer then test your wireless?
