After closing the lid on my P72 laptop last week and moving it to the

router. The router is fine, and WiFi works fine in the dual-booted 
Windows 10. But I can't figure out how to kick start my WiFi connection. 
I have restarted the P72 multiple times, with no success. The copper 
Ethernet connection works fine.

Any suggestions how to kickstart it? When I try ifup I get this:

# ifup ATTxxxxxxxx

Error: Connection activation failed: No suitable device found for this 
connection (device lo not available because device is strictly unmanaged).

What is the output of "nmcli c" and "rfkill list"?

Well, for what its worth,

My thinkpad E595 just did the same thing.  (Fedora 32)
Was able to boot to multi-user.target, logged in and the NIC was active and good.  Boot to graphical.target failed.  No NIC, no bluetooth, no boot.
The only way to get it to boot normally was to go into the BIOS.  Didn't change anything, even quit without saving.
Rebooted and it came up clean.
I'm at a complete loss.  But it is back now.
Looking at what happened, I see that a lot of firmware packages were updated.
Not sure why loading BIOS helped.
