Linux Mint 21 Lenovo Flex3 laptop no WiFi adapter [Solved]

[dudesplace]

After install of linux mint I get no WiFi adapter, pretty sure it worked on a VB's of Mint and other Linux distro's but I decided to
multi boot it instead, now none of the Linux distro's on multi-booted see the WiFi.
here is what I get:

You might need to disable secure boot in Bios & Fast Startup in Windows.

Solved, I installed a Qualcomm WiFi adapter I had pulled from another laptop, it works fine as well as bluetooth.
I think the one not showing up is a Intel... weird that it died but oh well.
Thanks for suggestions.
