It is strange as the Intel AC 7265 should be supported.
Can you check if the inxi -v4 command lists the card and also the driver it uses. It should be the iwlwifi as that supports that chip.
Is there a wireless network device showing up in the network manager.
Here's the output of inxi -v4

As Maui is based on Neon and this is based on Ubuntu we can just use the newer kernels Ubuntu provide.
The thing is, I've got no wifi, so I cannot install Maui in the first place. And this laptop doesn't have hole for a cable...

So your device is there as wlo1 device but simply turned off. Can you turn it on with
Code:
sudo ifconfig wlo1 upRE: wifi not available during install - MarkoF - 18th October 2017

Nope. Not working. I also restarted networking and network-manager. The wifi-list stays empty.

Ok if you still want to install it without internet access try editing /etc/calamares/modules/welcome.conf and remove internet from required.
Nevertheless even after installing you need a newer kernel I suppose. So you need some kind of USB Ethernet adapters or another computer to download the newer kernel packages.

So no possibilty to get wifi working on this versions live-usb? Any beta for 17.07?

So the issue is that actually the firmware package (linux-firmware) does not ship with the firmware for your wifi card.
So what you need to do is to download the firmware for your card somehow from here: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/_media/en/users/drivers/iwlwifi-7265-ucode-16.242414.0.tgz
and then extract and put the two files .ucode files to the /lib/firmware/ directory. (skip the license and readmes)
That should make the wifi card working for you.

Actually, I've tried that, but it didn't do anything. I've gave up for now and installed KDE Neon. Thanks for all suggestions. Appreciate it!

I have an interesting thing as well.
When I install Maui, if I uncheck the wireless connection, so the install see's no network connection. I get no errors. When the installation is finished.
I cant access the internet at all. Just thought I would add this onto this conversation. I can ping my router etc... But no surfing. But if on the install I have the internet connected of course I am fine

sounds like the dns is not configured correctly.
