Welcome to the forums.   You need to provide a lot more information.

Start with the output of lspci and of ip link
Did the WiFi work when you booted from the installation media?

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook 15 , WiFi issue and battery Drain Please help

It looks like your WiFi device, "Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device c82f", is supported started in the 5.2 Kernel tree.   As a sanity check, what is the output of uname -a  ?

Also, please use BBCode Code tags around program output.  If you would be so kind as to edit your post.

Re: Lenovo Thinkbook 15 , WiFi issue and battery Drain Please help

Try the non-LTS kernel.

[This article](https://www.notebookcheck.net/Lenovo-Th … 012.0.html) suggests an intel wireless/bluetooth device:

The ThinkBook 15 also has an Intel Wireless AC 9560 module onboard, which handles network connections. This module also supports Bluetooth 5.

Strange.

What further troubleshooting steps did you take?
