Ubuntu on 2022 Razer Blade 14'' with 3070 Ti
I've recently bought the new [2022 Razer Blade 14'' with 3070 Ti](https://mysupport.razer.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5924/~/at-a-glance:-razer-blade-14-(2022)-|-rz09-0427x).
Unfortunately after installing Ubuntu 22.04 Desktop I've quickly come to realize that neither WiFi nor BT are working.
Information below:

Can anyone help me with resolving this issue?
Edit: I tried Ubuntu 18.x, 20.x, 21.x, 22.x and fedora 36 with all various kernels and it all shows the same errors. Looks like only Windows has the drivers for the recent hardware.
Edit: I tried copying the drivers from https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware but its for WCN6855 and not the WCN6856 in my Blade 14''.
