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?

    You have said you have windows installed alongside Fedora, does the
    wifi not work in windows as well or is it just Fedora where it
    doesn't work?
    Also have you disabled fastboot in windows as opposed to the Bios?
    I've had issues in the past where with fastboot active in windows a
    device was not accessible by Fedora until I disabled windows
    fastboot.
    
    regards,
    Steve

Thanks,
Peter
