No WiFi on Jetpack 6.1

After upgrading to Jetpack 6.1 on Jetson Orin NX 16GB devkit I am unable to connect to Wifi network and no Wifi Settings can be configured in the Network Configuration applet. The adapter installed is Intel model 8265NGW. The carrier board is reComputer J401 from Seeed Studio. If I grep journalctl for wifi, this is all I see:

steve@ubuntu:~$ journalctl | grep wifi
Dec 31 19:00:34 ubuntu NetworkManager[584]: [34.3499] Read config: /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf (lib: 10-dns-resolved.conf, 20-connectivity-ubuntu.conf, no-mac-addr-change.conf) (etc: 10-globally-managed-devices.conf, default-wifi-powersave-on.conf)

Any idea what may be happening here?

thanks,
Seve

Hi,
Please enable the kernel configs for a try:
Jetpack 6 Wifi slow startup with backport-iwlwifi-dkms - #13 by dakejahl

Jetpack 6 is aligned with upstream kernel and certain configs are not enabled by default.

That has done the trick. Thanks for your assistance.
