I set up a Framework Laptop (DIY edition) I bought two weeks ago. However, after shutting it down and charging it today, the network card (Intel AX210) was no longer detected.
Looking into the logs, the network card was detected my the operating system, but at some point it failed and the operating system could no longer use it.
I used the network card on another laptop and it worked fine. When I used another network card with my Framework laptop, it was still not detected. When I booted another operating system from a USB drive on my Framework laptop, the network card still failed to be detected. This makes it seem to me that it’s an issue with the network antennas themselves.
For more information, I run Arch Linux with the 5.15.13 kernel. The kernel logs are as follows:

lspci also lists the network card as a network controller.
Is there anything else I can do to troubleshoot this? Or do I need to return the front cover/buy a new one? Any help here will be appreciated.
