Fedora 39: Wifi issues with mt7921e on Lenovo Legion 5

Hi everyone, I have some issues with my wifi and maybe you have some idea how I could solve it.
I have Lenovo Legion 5 with MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter. It usually works ok, but occasionally, it disconnects me from the internet. It happened on f38 when I got the laptop some months ago, and now on f39. I believe it happens when downloading at full speed after some time, but now it is occurring more often with the latest kernel update even with normal usage.

6.6.12-200.fc39.x86_64

In gnome, it shows the wifi is still connected, but with no internet (question mark on the icon) and it is not showing / can’t scan any wifi networks.

Here is lspci info:

I saw when it happens, the link is DOWN or sometimes it says group dormant instead of default.
Please let me know if you have some way for me to fix this, or any idea why is it happening. Thank you

I see that you have IPv6 enabled on that device.

Have you tried disabling IPv6 and using only IPv4 to see if there is any difference?

Usually the ? icon for the wifi indicates it is not able to communicate beyond the AP, and problems with routing may cause that if the router or ISP has problems with IPv6.

@computersavvy Thanks, I’ll try that now and report back after a few days, since it was happening irregularly.
But would that cause the adapter not to see any wifi network? When I get a question mark (no net), no network is shown on the wifi scan (except the one I was using), and there are many from the neighbors. I also restarted NetworkManager and wpa_supplicant services, but no luck. There are no wifi networks on the scan. Logging out also doesn’t help, only reboot.
I’ve disabled ip6 and if it happens again, I’ll post NetworkManager service logs here.
Thanks again

Hello I have the same Issue, and every 5 minutes the wifi connection fails

@smaceda
This is a second thread on which your topic is different and should be addressed on your own thread for your own system. Please open a new topic with a better discussion of what the issue is and more info about the actual hardware so we have a chance to analyze the issue.

@computersavvy Hi, I still wasn’t able to solve this issue. I’m waiting for the wifi USB dongle to arrive so I can see if the problem is with this specific card.
I disabled connectivity check:

───────┬────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
       β”‚ File: /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/20-connectivity-fedora.conf
───────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
   1   β”‚ # Enable connectivity checking for NetworkManager.
   2   β”‚ # See `man NetworkManager.conf`.
   3   β”‚ #
   4   β”‚ # Note that connectivity checking works badly with rp_filter set to
   5   β”‚ # strict. Check "/proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/*/rp_filter".
   6   β”‚ [connectivity]
   7   β”‚ enabled=false
   8   β”‚ uri=http://fedoraproject.org/static/hotspot.txt
   9   β”‚ response=OK
  10   β”‚ interval=0

also tried wifi.powersave = 2, but it doesn’t help.

It happens rarely, usually when I download something huge, but it is annoying I can’t recover wifi at all except by rebooting my laptop

Here’s my NetworkManager log if anything can be helpful there
Thanks

I understand completely.

I was faced with similar symptoms, including system crashes when I had a wifi card that was failing. The intermittent disconnects seemed to interrupt network activity at times that caused the apps to hang and eventually crash.

If it is actually solved by using the wifi dongle then for most laptops the internal wifi card is usually fairly simple to replace.
