What happened when you loaded mt7921e ?
Nothing.
Okay, sorry, I should have said "please post dmesg output after loading mt7921e". There will most likely be some output from that module, maybe complaining about something. Maybe the firmware didn't load. You could also post output of "ip addr" to show us if a wifi device has turned up.
Per, I did not post dmesg output because I looked and there was *none*. Please give me some slack.
Well, it's difficult to keep track of what you know and what you don't know. Above you didn't know what and how to load a module, I felt it would have been silly to assume you knew how to look for the output.
cfg80211: Loading compiled-in X.509 certificates for regulatory database cfg80211: Loaded X.509 cert 'sforshee: [00b28ddf47aef9cea7'
Those are the only ones that pertain to the loading of that module. (well, to cfg80211 which was automatically pulled in).
Ok, "ip addr" shows something else besides the address, did not think of that. Did think of ifconfig, but it is not installed.
ifconfig was deprecated years ago, it was later moved into a separate package.
Trying now. [...] Nope. Just eth0 and lo.
Right. My gut feeling says "firmware issue", but there is nothing to confirm that. Do you have "kernel-firmware-mediatek" installed ? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (19.1°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
