On my 64-bit Ubuntu 18.04 WiFi isn't working - my WiFi networks are not visible to choose from. I got the following result:



$ lspci -vq | grep -i wireless -B 1 -A 5

01:00.0 Network controller: Ralink corp. RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Subsystem: Lite-On Communications Inc RT3090 Wireless 802.11n 1T/1R PCIe
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at fea00000 (32-bit,ran the following command non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: rt2800pci
Kernel modules: rt2800pci


Is this a case of a missing driver? My Ethernet connection works fine.



Edit:



$ rfkill list all
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no


It still does not see the WiFi networks.

  • You have a driver, the wireless is not disabled by the Airplane Mode switch and so it seems that you have a bigger issue. Please provide the wireless info from here: askubuntu.com/questions/425155/…
