Owww…drat!..My crystal ball is out of batteries.
But you know what ?
Run next commands:
sudo dmidecode -t system
hwinfo --network
uname -a
lsb_release -a
Post the output here (copy paste), select the whole texblock and use the </> symbol in the edit window to make it a bit easier readable.
The more useful info you provide, the sooner it can be solved

They are purging data supporting old harware from the common hardware database. Hopefully, yours is not in that group. However, to be sure, please share the output of the following command:
inxi -Fxxx
Also, when you boot Linux from the Live ISO image, not your installed image, do you get access to the network?
