Description of problem: I have a MediaTek MT7921 internal Wi-Fi card, which suddenly stopped working in the past couple of days. When I attempt to connect to any Wi-Fi network, it takes forever to connect, before finally failing to activate the network connection. When this problem started appearing, I purchased a TP-Link TL-WN823N USB Wi-Fi adapter to use in the meantime; however, the problem occurs under this card too (it is a Realtek RTL8192EU). This problem also occurs on openSUSE Tumbleweed, and there is a post on Ask Ubuntu which describes the exact same problem with the MediaTek MT7921 (posted only 10 days ago) on Ubuntu 22.04. The problem does NOT occur on elementary OS 6.1, which is based on the older Ubuntu 20.04.3. This leads me to believe that this is a kernel regression. Any assistance in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated! Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64 How reproducible: Problem occurs out of the box on affected devices with the latest Fedora 37 x86_64 ISO. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 37 on a device with the MediaTek MT7921 card. 2. Problem is observable when connecting to any Wi-Fi network. Actual results: The Wi-Fi network connection attempt fails. Expected results: The Wi-Fi network connection is successfully established. Additional info: N/A
Here is the link to the Ask Ubuntu post: https://askubuntu.com/questions/1442432/ubuntu-22-04-mediatek-mt7921e-forever-wifi-connecting-configuring Sorry, I forgot to include it in the original problem description.
Please provide the version of linux-firmware and the running kernel. What updates were applied when the update happened, was it a new kernel or linux-firmware. Please provide the versions before and afterwards. > When this problem started appearing, I purchased a TP-Link TL-WN823N USB Wi-Fi adapter to use in the meantime; however, the problem occurs under this card too (it is a Realtek RTL8192EU). If the problem has suddenly started on two different cards did you change any of your network such as wifi router?
Thanks for getting back to me. The current kernel version is: 6.0.11-300.fc37.x86_64 The current linux-firmware version is: linux-firmware-20221109-144.fc37.noarch I am on a fresh install of Fedora 37 with all available updates applied, so the previous versions would be whichever versions the latest Fedora 37 installation ISO ships. I can confirm that I have not changed anything on my network.

Please confirm what was actually installed using "dnf history" because the iso installer may actually pull updates when installing so it's not useful.
Here is the output from running "dnf history": ID | Command line | Date and time | Action(s) | Altered ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5 | | 2022-12-05 17:55 | I, U | 458 4 | | 2022-12-05 17:44 | Install | 2 3 | | 2022-12-05 17:41 | I, U | 7 2 | install lshw | 2022-12-05 17:38 | Install | 1 < 1 | | 2022-11-05 08:25 | Install | 1796 >E
Actually, I just realised that I used PackageKit to apply updates after installing Fedora 37. I did this using: sudo pkcon refresh force sudo pkcon update --only-download sudo pkcon offline-trigger sudo systemctl reboot I would also like to mention that my laptop was not connected to the Internet during the Fedora 37 installation.
At any rate, the problem occurred upon reboot immediately after the Fedora 37 installation, before I had applied any updates manually.
