Description Jan Wieringa 2024-11-03 08:53:10 UTC
After installing Fedora 41 I found that my Mediatek MT7922 WiFi/BT mini-pci card wasn't working right. BT was working, but WiFi was only using 2.4Ghz band. It turned out the binaries for the card were present in /lib/firmware/mediatek, but they were still compressed (.zx).

Specific firmware binaries:
WIFI_MT7922_patch_mcu_1_1_hdr.bin
WIFI_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1.bin
BT_RAM_CODE_MT7922_1_1_hdr.bin

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install Fedora Workstation 41 (GNOME)
2. Install latest updates...
Actual Results:  
Mediatek MT7922 worked poorly, but kernel driver was installed:

lspci -k -n -n | grep -i -A 3 -e net                                            ✔ 
pcilib: Error reading /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:00:08.3/label: Operation not permitted
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter [14c3:0616]
	Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:e0c6]
	Kernel driver in use: mt7921e
	Kernel modules: mt7921e


Expected Results:  
Mediatek MT7922 should allow for use of 5 and 6Ghz band use.

After decompressing said binaries, giving them executable permissions and rebooting, everything worked fine.

This github repo set me on the right course: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/How_to_Install_Firmware_for_Mediatek_based_USB_WiFi_adapters.md
