(1) activated propriatery drivers
(2) checked whether ethernet works- indeed, laptop does connect with the cable.
(3) I also tried to connect to a hidden network, but no success.
(4)I looked for similar posts on the forum and found a similar one (viewtopic.php?t=232418), but the suggested solution didn't work.
Below is the terminal output of the following three commands (inxi -Fxz, rfkill list all, iwconfig)
