Title:
  [Regression] Realtek RTL8852CE Wi-Fi not working after kernel update
  to 6.14.0-27-generic

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  After upgrading to kernel 6.14.0-27-generic, my Realtek RTL8852CE Wi-
  Fi adapter is no longer detected by Ubuntu. This issue did not occur
  in 6.14.0-24-generic, where the device worked without issue using the
  rtw89pci driver. This indicates a likely regression or
  misconfiguration introduced in 6.14.0-27.

  System Information:
  Ubuntu version: 24.04.2 LTS

  Kernel (working): 6.14.0-24-generic

  Kernel (broken): 6.14.0-27-generic

  Wi-Fi device: Realtek RTL8852CE (PCIe)

  Driver in use: rtw89pci

  Laptop: Lenovo Legion Pro 5 16ARX8

  Steps to Reproduce:
  Boot into 6.14.0-27-generic

  Wi-Fi adapter is not detected at all (no wlan0 / wlp... interfaces)

  Run lspci → Realtek Wi-Fi controller is present

  Run lsmod → rtw89pci not loaded

  Run dmesg → no trace of Wi-Fi driver activity

  Boot into 6.14.0-24-generic

  Wi-Fi works correctly again

  Expected Behavior:
  Wi-Fi adapter should be detected and initialized automatically on boot, as in 
earlier kernel versions.

  Actual Behavior:
  No Wi-Fi interface is present.

  No driver is loaded (lsmod | grep rtw → empty).

  dmesg shows no driver probe attempt or related firmware issue.

  Logs:
  lspci (device is physically present):

  Broken: empty
  ===============================================

  Workaround:
  Booting into the previous kernel (6.14.0-24-generic) restores Wi-Fi 
functionality. Wi-Fi is stable and consistent in that version.

  Additional Observations:
  * A similar issue occurred previously after upgrading to NVIDIA proprietary 
driver v570 (from v550). Wi-Fi disappeared under similar conditions, which was 
resolved by reverting either the kernel or the GPU driver.

  * This suggests the possibility of a PCI or ACPI-related regression
  affecting multiple subsystems (GPU and Wi-Fi).

  Suggestion:
  Please check whether linux-image-6.14.0-27-generic lacks:
  * Proper support for Realtek RTL8852CE (e.g. missing rtw89 module)
  * Related firmware blobs
  * Or has introduced changes in ACPI/PCI probing logic that prevents the Wi-Fi 
adapter from being initialized

  If relevant, restoring or updating rtw89 support via DKMS or packaging
  may be necessary.
