After replacing Windows 7 with Ubuntu 20.04 on my ASUS, I am unable to connect to Wi-Fi, since the settings page says "no Wi-Fi adapter found". I tried some things mentioned in similar threads, like reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source (although I didn't really understand what I was doing - I am a complete beginner), but that didn't work. I suppose the relevant lines from output for lshw -C network are:

  *-network UNCLAIMED       
   description: Network controller
   product: MT7630e 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter
   vendor: MEDIATEK Corp.
   physical id: 0
   bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
   version: 00
   width: 32 bits
   clock: 33MHz
   capabilities: cap_list
   configuration: latency=0
   resources: memory:f7d00000-f7dfffff

Also, rfkill list all doesn't produce any output. Could someone help me to at least understand what the problem might be?

I can help to understand what is the problem. You have a MT7630e wireless device that is not properly supported by the linux kernel. I have no idea how to solve it. – Pilot6 Jun 06 '20 at 20:46
What happens if you do this in terminal sudo modprobe mt76x0e – Jeremy31 Jun 06 '20 at 21:08
@Pilot6 Thank you! Now I know what specifically to search for. – nasekatnasushi Jun 06 '20 at 21:17
@Jeremy31 It doesn't output anything. – nasekatnasushi Jun 06 '20 at 21:18
Do the results for lshw -C network still show unclaimed? – Jeremy31 Jun 06 '20 at 21:35
@Jeremy31 Yes, nothing seems to have changed. – nasekatnasushi Jun 06 '20 at 21:52
