Hi,
on my new laptop (Lenovo L14 gen 3) I can not see the WiFi. Network manager doesn't see it.
tlp-stat says there is no WiFi:
What's next? Was the WiFi not included? Some command to reveal it? inxi seems to see it. lsusb seems to confirm.
err, inxi sees what, a bluetooth device?
I think it is the same card. The new protocols can link with BT, then change over to WiFi for the actual transfer of large data. This means same chip or card.
Err device-1 is the BT. I think device -2 is the wifi & says it is a MEDIATEK MT7922
It is in the detailed invoice:
Wireless - RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 11AX (2x2) & Bluetooth 5.1
What the invoice says is not relevant. What the hardware reports is.
why would lsusb see a pci device?
I have no idea.
OK. I'll give you a clue. It wouldn't.
I mean have no idea where the WiFi card is. I used lsusb because somewhere I saw a mention of radio in the usb. Now that you mention pci, I'll try:

what system are you running? Specifically what kernel and do you know for sure that it supports the device?
openSUSE Leap 15.4 with current kernel, which you can see in the journal output I posted:
Mar 28 20:10:30 Laicolasse kernel: Linux version 5.14.21-150400.24.46-default (geeko@buildhost) (gcc (SUSE Linux) [snip] I have no idea about what kernel supports it, or if any kernel supports it at all.
I believe 5.17 is the first kernel to support it.
How do you know? :-? Ok, where do I obtain it?
Caution - I am not a hardware and especially not a wifi expert.
