mt7921e aka AMD RZ608

Post#1 by **kultex** » 01 Sep 2022, 16:53

a lot of new intel wifi cards are quite buggy under linux - the list is extremly long and no real solution...

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=203709

and I was searching for a good replacement with wpa3 support - the mt7921e aka AMD RZ608 is a good and cheap wifi 6e which is supported in kernel 5.18

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke ... =v5.18-rc2

here the link to buy - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/115157821962?epid=3054979279

but the module is not available

Code: Select all

guest@porteus:~$ ls /lib/modules/5.18.8-porteus/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/mediatek/mt76
mt76.ko  mt7603/  mt76x02-lib.ko  mt76x2/

I think it should be added to the kernel config.....

Code: Select all

# CONFIG_MT7921E is not set ---> CONFIG_MT7921E=m

yes I know - but I hope, there will be kernel updates - with 5.18.19 we reached the end of kernel 5.18 - I think the next one after 5.19 will be 6.0

and if an update comes, I think mt7921 should be included....

Hi kultex.
Try a new kernel 5.19.6 from this post Porteus Kernel Builder (Пост Blaze #89632)

Thanks

THX Blaze - I had really stress the last 2 month, so no time playing with the toy...... I do not change anything, when I am in production mode....

I use now your 5.19.11 kernel and the card works like a charm out of the box - I can watch films on places in the house, where I could not even connect to the router - I recommend everybody, who has a M.2 / NGFF KEY E 2230 slot and is not happy with the internet speed to change to this card......

EDIT: !! The card may not work with Lenovo, Compaq and HP Laptops !! - bios lock
