Re: Cannot enable WIFI & Bluethooth at fresh install of Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. «Hard blocks» or something else?.

Hey dear «Little Girl». 😉

Thanks again for your support.

You point at this page......

https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-tablet-laptops/thinkpad-x230-tablet/3434/videos/vid500090-thinkpad-function-keys-fn-key-with-f1-to-f12-keys-overview

This is about a slightly different variant - nr. 3434. However,  thanks to
the page you found, I found the right home page related to exactly my
device, nr. 2325:


https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x230/2325/solutions/ht510152

«Behind» this page, I hope to find the info I need about the FN key
combinations and other related hardware issues.

This page points at the Linux Ubuntu commandline command to get the exactly
right commandline command to get the serial number:

sudo dmidecode -t system | grep Serial

sudo dmidecode -t baseboard | grep Serial


Finally. .... Gonna also check this.
