Ubuntu 16.04 Wifi Driver mysteriously disappearing, again

Question

I am running Ubuntu 16.04 with LXDE, LXQt, and Ubuntu desktop, with BOINC Enigma@Home actively running. My WiFi did not work when I first started the LiveUSB, and when I restarted the LiveUSB magically worked again. After I installed the OS, the same happened, except that now the WiFi doesn't work after several chroot updates from the LiveUSB "savior" and reboots. The only proprietary driver not in use is one concerning my AMD CPU that can't be put to use because I lack internet... Please help, Here are the outputs of some stuff:

Here is the output of sudo lshw -C network:

And here is an error when looking at my Network connections in Settings --> Network: Please note how the internet icon is now longer in the top right corner of my screen...

There are currently no updates are available through sudo chroot:
