Asus wifi disabled

You can try going into BIOS and reset to defaults. A trick that works on Toshibas, is to shut down, remove battery and power cord and press the power button for 10 seconds

If nothing else the tape trick should work

oh God, it WAS blocked from within the BIOS. I did not even had to reset: there was this WLAN thing in the bios marked as "disabled", marked it "enabled" and everything works now. I am really sorry for taking up your time, I should have checked BIOS first...since it was suggested in topics here, too! I feel like an idiot!
thank you Jeremy,
administration moved me in this thread so I cannot mark it as solved myself.
thanks again.

I moved it here and I will see if I can mark it as solved. Glad to help

You are likely not seeing any activity on your question in Linux Mint forum because I am doing that here and do not feel like posting the same thing on 2 forums

Edit: Marked as Solved

If I disable my WLAN on my Lenovo, it doesn't show up in lspci results as if it doesn't exist or was removed from the laptop
