WiFi network card not detected (either AX210 or MT7922)

Question

I am running Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with Linux 6.8.0-40-generic on a HP Pavilion Laptop 15.

The issue I facing is that the WiFi card is not detected. I tried both an Mediatek MT7922 and an Intel AX210. Note: I only upgraded the card, not the antennas. The previous card Realtek 8852BE was WiFi 6; these cards are WiFi 6e. I don't care about the 6 GHz band now, I am just mentioning if it makes any difference.

Now back to the issue: Neither the AX210 or MT7922 cards are detected.

The only line I see added here for both cards versus running with no WiFi card plugged in is the following one:

Also I checked rfkill list:

0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: no
    Hard blocked: no

I tried the workaround for the iwlwifi, but I had to rename the zst file instead. However it had no effect after the restart.

# mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm  /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.bak
mv: cannot stat '/usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm': No such file or directory
mv /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.zst  /usr/lib/firmware/iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0.pnvm.zst.bak

Other diagnostic information seems useless, as they are not returning any results...

dmesg | grep iwl
modprobe iwlwifi && sudo dmesg | grep iwl
sudo lshw -C network

Later edit with further debug information as per @waltinator wireless-info script output with removed information regarding Connection information because the passwords were not masked, and has no effect on the current issue. Unfortunately posting this information doesn't answer my question as to why the WiFi card is not being detected
