I’m having a Wi-Fi issue on my ASUS Vivobook (X1504ZA) running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. I don’t really know much about this kind of Linux/driver/network stuff, so I’ve been trying to figure it out step by step.
Hardware info
My Wi-Fi card shows up as:
MediaTek MT7902 802.11ax (Filogic 310)
PCI ID:
14c3:7902
What works
Internet works fine using USB tethering from my phone
System is updated (kernel:
7.0.0-22-generic)Everything else on the system seems normal
What doesn’t work
No Wi-Fi option appears in network settings
nmclishows no Wi-Fi device at allThe Wi-Fi hardware is detected by the system but marked as UNCLAIMED
The
mt7921edriver loads, but it does not attach to this device
What I found (with help)
I honestly don’t know much about drivers or kernel stuff, so I used an AI assistant to help me troubleshoot step by step. We checked logs, drivers, and kernel modules together.
From what we found:
The Linux
mt76 / mt792xdrivers are installedBut they don’t seem to support my exact chip (
14c3:7902)So the system detects the hardware, but no driver actually connects to it
Current situation
It looks like the Wi-Fi chip is not supported (or not fully supported yet) in my current Linux setup.
Workaround
I’m currently just using USB tethering from my phone, which works fine for internet.
Why I’m posting
Since I don’t really understand this technical stuff deeply, I thought I’d ask here in case someone knows a fix, patch, or workaround for this specific Wi-Fi chip.
Any help would be really appreciated 🙏 Should i install windows now?
