  • Could you please add the output of lspci -nnk | grep -i net -A2 to see which driver is in use and the output of iw dev to see if there is a interface name.

  • Please edit your question and replace your long output with the short summary of lspci -nnk | grep -i network -A2, rfkill list and iw dev | grep Interface.

I am using asus X450cc and my wifi card it rt3290. This is what worked for me

I downloaded the rt3290 Driver from here, extracted it and entered the directory and ran

sudo ./run.sh

This requires a working ethernet connection.

Then I also tried How to install wifi driver Ralink RT3290 and How do I get an RT3290 wireless card to work?

Then I tried:

rfkill unblock all

I also tried:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter
sudo reboot

Finally I tried:

sudo ifconfig enp3s0f0 up  #(here this is my logical name of wifi change it to your wifi name)
sudo pm-suspend

Now my wifi is working, although I still have a tiny problem; every time I boot into Ubuntu I need to suspend and resume, only then does my wifi work.
