If the pci id of your device isn't a part of a specific kernel's mt7921e module it's VERY unlikely it'd 'just work' in any capacity, at least not w/o some other type of coaxing.
Ok, so that is the meaning of "pci id" that I did not understand.
I feel pretty confident in saying you _have to_ have >= kernel 5.17 to have the device show up; using kernel:stable:Backport should be an easy, quick method to give a try.
Yes, I am going to try that now. I had other things to do first.
The important part here, for you, is "616" which is referenced by 6.2.8-lp154:
opensuse154:~ # modinfo mt7921e | grep pci\: alias: pci:v000014C3d00000616sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014C3d00000608sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014C3d00007922sv*sd*bc*sc*i* alias: pci:v000014C3d00007961sv*sd*bc*sc*i*
Sorry, I do not understand what means that "616". Laicolasse:~ # lspci | grep 616 Laicolasse:~ # Ah: Laicolasse:~ # lspci -nn | grep 616 06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:0616] Laicolasse:~ #

But missing from 5.14.21-150400:
