WiFi/BT module not working

[pyrotiger]

Unfortunately I have the Taichi x870e with a mt7925e chip (Pessimism due to commentary in other thread)

Searching around the forums there doesnt seem to be much but this thread seems to be relevant in providing an answer in why I’m struggling however the caveat is this… When I used the Garuda Live USB to install Broadwing, the wifi/bluetooth module worked fine. Upon booting into the new installation… it does not show up in the connections list for either Network Manager or Bluetooth(no adapter found)

MEDIATEK mt7925e WIFI speed very slow on close to fresh install and some updates

I have looked all over for a fix to this and cant seem to fix it. when i was runing windows on this hardware i was getting the full 1GB speed i usaly do but in linux its all the way down to just 100mbs sometimes even less and im still new to this distro so im not 100% on everything but ive done as much as i can on my own and would love some help to fix this here is some outputs that might help! if you need more just ask, again I am new to all this! <3 lsmod | sort Network: Device-1: Intel Ethe…

I have loaded the mainline kernel and made sure both components are set to Enabled rathern than auto in UEFI, it still does not show up at all.

Windows dual boot: Probably

If you dual boot with Windows, make sure you completely shut down when you are in Windows, disabling the “fast startup” feature. What Is “Fast Startup” Mode and How to Enable or Disable It? - MiniTool
Also a cold boot might help in this case.

[pyrotiger]

the nvme which holds the windows installation is not currently inserted, though it still reads the Windows bootloader. Fast Boot is already disabled. Will do a cold boot now

Device-2: MEDIATEK driver: N/A modules: mt7925e

The kernel driver is not loaded.

@pyrotiger

When I used the Garuda Live USB to install Broadwing, the wifi/bluetooth module worked fine.

@pyrotiger

Kernel: 6.14.0-1-mainline

The live.iso uses the linux-zen kernel, try to boot with the linux-zen kernel and check if the driver is loaded.

[pyrotiger]

the installation originally installed with aforementioned zen kernel and it didnt work. I tried znver5 since my cpu is a 9950x3D didnt work either. However, filo’s suggestion of cold booting has worked. Now i see a list of wireless networks and Bluetooth works as expected. Now im going to switch back to znver5 kernel and see if it works, and then plug in all my other USB devices.
