wireless network adapter not working

[Peter Lesterhuis <peterlesterhuis@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I would like your advice.
Recently I purchased a laptop (Asus Vivobook S15 M5506NA-MA056W).
I installed fedora 41 alongside Windows 11.
First I disabled "fast boot" and "secure boot".
Fedora installed fine, but there is no wifi connection, probably because of the Wireless Network Adapter not working.

 

peter@fedora:~$ nmcli radio
WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
missing enabled missing disabled

 

peter@fedora:~$ lspci -n -n -k
...
01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:0616]
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device [105b:e0de]
Kernel modules: mt7921e
...

peter@fedora:~$ sudo dmesg | grep mt7921e
[ 7.042421] mt7921e 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[ 8.096638] mt7921e 0000:01:00.0: firmware own failed
[ 8.096733] mt7921e 0000:01:00.0: probe with driver mt7921e failed with error -5

 

So the kernel module mt7921e is diabled.
I tried modprobe, I did a reinstall, to no avail.

There is no ethernet connection with this laptop.

Of course I can open the laptop and replace the wifi/bluetooth card, but perhaps there are more options.
Does anyone have a clue how to resolve this problem?
Thanks,
Peter
