How to get MediaTeK MT7902 support? [SOLVED]

adr77 · 2023-12-03 20:53:43

Hey there, I had just purchased a new laptop, a Asus Vivobook 16, and I seem to notice that Arch doesn't play well with it, but Windows (dual boot) seems to like it just fine.

Would there be any possibility to get it working? the only way I am able to get the thing online is with a USB dongle...

Cheers!

I don't think that device is supported yet: https://linux-hardware.org/?id=pci:14c3-7902-1a3b-5520

woah, those results don't show anything good. Better keep that USB dongle handy, should probably buy a 5Ghz module anyway, my dad gave me an old one.

Thanks much, and have a good one.

Hi :-)

Has anyone tried this ?

Hi! I just prove it and it not work (at least for me)... It would be a better solution to buy a 5Ghz module

If anyone prove it and works, please let me know!

Thanks cvillalta for your feedback.
Still waiting... my 5Ghz Wifi & Bluetooth USB dongle helps a lot ;-)

Hi,
What a surprise! :-)
Little story...
I've connected a wifi network with my Wifi dongle without problem... but it asked me again the wifi password.. no question, I put the password again then work.
Then I update my laptop, no problem... Hey ! here come linux 7.1.2! Great!
then after lunch, go back to the office, power on my laptop and... it connects to the wifi network... but... hey! my wifi dongle is not plugged in!
l don't see any change in my lsmod | grep mt79... but, Wifi & Bluetooth works great now on my laptop.

How about you?
