I recently bought a new HP laptop (Pavilion 15-ec2003np), but when I installed ubuntu (already tried 20.04, 20.10, Pop!_OS 20.04, 20.10) it says that the network adapter wasn't found and I can only have internet via cable. Already searched for the drivers but I cant seem to find the correct one. The laptop has a Realtek 8852 network adapter.
Has anyone else had the same issue?
Thank you in advance.
EDIT: Reinstalled Ubuntu 21.04 and ran some commands to get some info. Also, i went through the network troubleshoot from the ubuntu website (only thing i didnt try from there was using the windows drivers) but still no success. Here are the results of the following commands:

sudo lsusb? There are a couple of different variations of theRTL8852.
