Huh, I may need another tea. Load what and how?
Carlos, you're sounding like a newbie - which you're certainly not.
I am a newbie in things about WiFi.
There is zero in this thread that is wifi specific. It is all about a
non-functioning device and why the module doesn't work or isn't being
loaded.
Load what - the module. "mt7921e"
Load how - the usual way people load modules, with "modprobe"
Ok, but who has told me to load that module?
I have mt7922, not 21. I couldn't guess to load an older module.
Actually, if you had read what a number of people have posted, that is
the suggestion. I think both Stephan and David posted material
listing "mt7921e" as the module to support your hardware.
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.
Only one ID in the module:

Try a newer kernel from kernel:stable:backports.
