Good evening everyone. I have a question regarding some hardware that is supposedly supported by the kernel, but refuses to be found. If anyone can help me figure this out, I would appreciate it.
I just installed Fedora 41 onto a new desktop that has a GIGABYTE X870E Aorus Elite mother board with a built in MT7925 chipset for wifi, which, according to the kernel docs, has been supported since kernel 6.7. It doesn’t show up in the gnome settings and I can’t find it anywhere. Is there somewhere I can look for ideas on how to fix this? Or force the system to reload the driver? I’m stuck with what to do next. (I can get online using my cell as a USB Hotspot if needed).
Can you run and paste here the output of lspci? And always good to check it’s enabled in BIOS (UEFI).

This seems to be your wifi adapter.

Please show rfkill
Also check the driver for that adapter.
It appears the driver being loaded is not working.
One possible source for a valid driver is GitHub - lwfinger/rtw89: Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device
There seem to have been several threads here about drivers and similar realtek chipsets. It seems that that particular chipset may be brand new and as such linux may not have a valid driver yet.
The fix for many has been to
- Use a usb/wifi dongle with a supported chipset (at least until realtek provides a proper driver)
- install a suitable 3rd party driver (maybe linked above)
- replace the wifi card in the system with a card having a supported chipset. (Almost all intel chipsets are supported for wifi.)
- Try forcing the system to ignore the loaded driver and instead load one of the other rtw drivers already available which may work.
More info may be available from dmesg sudo dmesg and look for related lines to see what it tells you. Try journalctl -b -g rtw to see what that the logs may say.
Also search on this forum for rtw to see what other users may have reported and the solutions that may have been found. (option 4 may be described in some of those threads.)

Thank you for the help btw! I’m going to go through the fix ideas now. Just wanted to get this posted in case it helps point a specific direction.
Even though the driver appears to have loaded, this shows failure on that chipset.
Does this mean I need an external (usb) wifi system? I can get the wifi connector to work in windows 11, but I can’t go back to windows 
Your choice of the options I presented.
The usb dongle seems simplest as long as it is a supported chipset.
Realtek drivers are proprietary and although they usually provide drivers for linux after a new device is released it may be some time before it is available to users. They provide the drivers for windows before the device is introduced.
