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.
I did read *all* the links that have been posted in this thread. I did not notice that I should have tried loading module "mt7921e", I was looking for "mt7922". If it was said, sorry, I missed it.
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. Posting it now: (starts with messages about waking up from sleep. The detected USB is the Synaptics touchpad)

Ok, "ip addr" shows something else besides the address, did not think of that. Did think of ifconfig, but it is not installed. Trying now. [...] Nope. Just eth0 and lo. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
