Updating to the newest version broke WIFI, now it isnt listed anymore in the settings menu and wont connect. Is there a known way to fix this? or should i just boot on a older Kernel?
Fixed this by reverting the Firmware version and blocking broken updates
$ echo ‘exclude=mt7xxx-firmware-20251011-2.fc42’ | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
$ sudo dnf downgrade mt7xxx-firmware-20250311-1.fc42
$ echo ‘exclude=mt7xxx-firmware-20250917-2.fc42’ | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf
$ echo ‘exclude=mt7xxx-firmware-20251011-1.fc42’ | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf

You should file a bug report at bugzilla.redhat.com about the regression in the firmware.
You can also block all firmware updates for the mt7xxx firmware without using specific version numbers with echo exclude=mt7xxx-firmware\* | sudo tee -a /etc/dnf/dnf.conf.
The older versions would not be available after a newer version is released and your method requires that you make that entry before updating every time there is a new firmware version released.
Thank you didnt think about blocking all updates. I just looked at bugzilla and this is already being worked on.
