I'm a complete newbie in the world of Linux. It was yesterday I tried to dual boot Ubuntu 20.04 alongside my Windows 10, where the installation was smooth and I was able to switch between Windows and Ubuntu quite easily.
But then I ran into a problem. As you can see below, I have no option of WiFi available, so I tried looking into settings, to find the option of Wireless connections.

But again, I run into this, where there is no option to wireless connections:

So, I tried almost "every possible troubleshoot" provided online, but none of them were any help.

Finally after 12 hours of trying and not getting any outcome, I decided to post as a question here.

If you could help me out, it would be of a great use to me.

System Specs:

  • Asus Zephyrus G14
  • CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 5900HS
  • RAM - 16GB
  • SSD - 1TB
  • Wifi Card - MediaTek WiFi 6 MT7921 Wireless LAN Card

Please understand the fact that I have literally negligible knowledge about Linux(sorry about that)
Thank you

P.S. I also tried using the lshw -C network command, and I got this as an output:

EDIT: Outputs for commands sudo lsusb and sudo lspci here

  • Could you [edit] your question to include the output of sudo lspci and sudo lsusb? This will include information about your hardware, making it more likely that someone can offer a specific solution to your problem – matigo Nov 24 '21 at 07:04
  • @matigo Done. Any Idea how do I approach now? – Ishaan Dugar Nov 24 '21 at 11:06
  • Uh, sorry, no. I think I messed up my kernel and I cannot boot into my latest kernel as I receive a new type of error now. – Ishaan Dugar Nov 25 '21 at 04:54

WiFi isn't working because Ubuntu 20.04 doesn't have a driver for your Mediatek MT7921 wireless card.

Your options are:

  • install a compatible driver
  • upgrade to a newer kernel
  • use Ubuntu 21.04 or newer

Ubuntu 20.04 does not have MediaTek driver MT7921 for WIFI & Bluetooth?
