Qubes OS version:

R4.0
Affected component(s):

Intel Wireless N 1000
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I installed QubesOS R4.0 and made it to the installation configuration page (where the system finishes installing, reboots, and then you are prompted with the config finishing installer) and I received this error

I also get this error message when I log into my QubesOS user and try to start sys-net as my WiFi does not work and the little Network applet on the panel is nowhere to be found.

This is what comes up when I check the log,

And I have tried to run the command to force attach the wireless card but I get this

So I try the commands

"sudo qvm-prefs sys-net virt_mode hvm"

But I still get the same error as above.

Any ideas? I installed qubesOS on this machine back in 2017 and simply kept updating it up to R3.2 (I think) and it always worked wonderfully. However R4.0 has this issue so I tried installing R3.2 and my WiFi card also did not work, R3.0 as well, but if I try Xubuntu 18.04/18.04 or any other distro my WiFi works fine. So idk what it is.

Are the virtualization option(s) enabled in your BIOS settings? Does
your laptop support hardware virtualization?
