From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short). Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy. ### Rules * Posts must be relevant to operating systems running the Linux kernel.

Hi, I’ve been having issues with my network adapter on Bazzite OS. Both WIFI and Bluetooth do not work, and the the utility nmcli device confirms this. I used lspci to find my network controller, which is a `MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter. I’m unsure how to proceed further. Thanks.

    This chipset has some known issues. As a sibling comment says, you need at least Linux 5.17 or it won’t work.

    I don’t know how Bazzite works, however, for many distros, later kernels had some regressions. There’s a guide for Debian and some other distros which manually places the firmware files in the right place.

    I think Bazzite is based on Fedora, so maybe this comment is more applicable to you.

    Either way, I think your next step should probably be verifying that your kernel is recent enough (and upgrading it if necessary), and then verifying that the necessary firmware files are up to date and in the right places.

      I found that my kernel is 6.7. I followed along with the guide and placed the firmware files in the correct location. It doesn’t work. I’ll rebase to Kinoite for now, it has worked for me before. Thanks.
