Wi-Fi, ethernet, and Bluetooth suddenly stopped working
https://askubuntu.com/questions/1564733/wi-fi-ethernet-and-bluetooth-suddenly-stopped-workingThe situation is as the titles says. I have been using this computer running Ubuntu 24.04 for some time now, yet the Wi-Fi, ethernet, and Bluetooth suddenly stopped working. The Wi-Fi/Bluetooth is built into the motherboard. I don't think there was any update installed just before this occurred, but I could be misremembering.
I have noticed it still registers an ethernet connection, and it can ping devices on the same LAN, but there is no internet access. Strangely enough, my VPN still seems to connect, despite no internet usability either in or outside of it.
Wi-Fi is no longer even displayed as a setting.
I'll try to include the information that I'm seen asked for in in response to questions similar to this one.
Output of uname -r is 6.17.0-14-generic.
Output of lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net is:

Something that seems strange is that the output of sudo lshw -class network is different. The configuration on the first*-network and the capabilities on the second display different parameters:

The first line of this output shows *-network UNCLAIMED if I run the command without sudo. I'm unsure why that is.
Output of nmcli device is:
DEVICE TYPE STATE CONNECTION
lo loopback connected (externally) lo
enp42s0 ethernet unavailable --
I have attempted to boot into an earlier version of the kernal (6.14.0-37-generic), but I was met with the same issue. I am unsure where to begin trying to solve this.
I could also just be imagining this, but it seems that the computer takes a strangely long time to boot up after this problem showed up.
