Description
This is an ongoing problem with the MT7902 as there are no official driver support for it. This means any instances of linux, even latest or previous updates, will absolutely not work. This is a prolonged issue and the only true way to fix this is to switch out the MediaTek WiFi card with a different brand that has supported drivers. While this WiFi chip has native support for Windows, most people using the Asus Vivobook series may experience this greater as it comes inbuilt, heres an Arch forum to describe the situation.
I myself tried to dual boot Arch but had a WiFi problem, I thought that maybe EndeveourOS could fix the problem, but alas that did not work.
