Warning:output may is incomplete or inaccurate, you should run the program as Super-user.
You can see that the second network is the disable state, press the FN+F2 key and run the command again to find that the disable state disappears, and then restart the system to connect to the WiFi normally.
The process is simple, leaving notes and maybe helping others.
Ubuntu solves the problem of WiFi not connecting
