After I upgraded to fedora 37 and rebooted the system, the airplane mode is on and can’t be switched off anymore. Meaning, now my Wi-fi is disconnected. I am using a Lenovo machine.
Any ideas how to fix this issue? Thanks in advance.

Ok hard block [you call it flight mode] has caused problems quite often on this model, [even in windows]
first thing to try is reboot the bios... boot up the machine, save any work to a safe place, then PRESS AND HOLD the power button down for 60 seconds, then re-boot, [did this work]? if not, it may mean that your computer has a physical wireless switch . Press and hold the
Fn Key
key, and then press the key that has the
Single Wireless Key

Thank you very much for your help. Unfortunately none of your suggestions did work. I did press and hold the on/off button for more then 60 sec. and rebooted —> No effect! If I press Fn and F5 the machine just display ‘Hardware Airplane Mode’, nothing else happens… :(

I also tried
rfkill unblock all
with no effect on the airplane mode…

After another ‘60sec reboot’ I switched in the boot menu back to a fedora 36 version. Also no effect on the Airplane Mode’ :(

Those instructions usually work, my last thought is check the Bios settings.
It may be a problem with Fedora, but I am not fully conversant with RHEL distributions
