The output showing “Driver N/a” indicates that the iwlwifi module is not suitable for your wireless adapter, as it is a MediaTek MT7922 – NOT Intel.

What happens when you type lspci -k | grep -A 3 -i network?
Try these two options:
Sometimes, newer kernels have better support for hardware. Update your system to the latest kernel:
sudo dnf update kernel
sudo reboot
Ensure that the necessary firmware for the MT7922 is installed. You can install the linux-firmware package:
I dont have a long cable so i cant connect to wifi router so i cant update.
is it the kernel that have problem? can i try downgrade kernel, will it fix it?
You may be able to get internet access using a smartphone.
Linux updates often introduce issues with WiFi, so I have found it important to have a USB WiFi dongle to use while waiting for the issue to be resolved. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi has a list of chipsets with in-kernel drivers. Avoid vendors thst don’t specify the chipset, as multiple chipsets are sometimes used under the same model name.
New kernels can require changes to UEFI/BIOS vendor firmware, so WiFi issues are sometimes fixed with firmware updates from the system vendor.
There are often useful error messages you can find using journalctl in a terminal, but you have to work to filter out relevant messages from the massive detail journalctl collects. Try journalctl --no-hostname -b -g wifi and journalctl --no-hostname -b -p 3. Read man journalctl for explanations of these options.
You may need to post images if you can’t arrange internet access, but posting as text means the details can be found by others with similar issues with web searches. That often contributes to better understanding of the issue.
Hi, I have an Intel AX200 wifi card that is missing from nmcli. I am using Fedora 42 KDE.
I have ethernet so it is not a big deal, but I will report here anyway.
Is there any chance you have or had a dual boot with Windows? That is known to break the device. The fix is to remove the power supply to force a cold boot.
edit: You can also try disabling IPv4/IPv6 UEFI networking in the BIOS.
You can always try to power cycle the machine (turn it off for a few minutes) and restart the driver with rmmod iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi. Usually, this error is temporary. You should also try running an older kernel to see if it works there.
Could you share which kernel version you switched to? I have the same MediaTek Wi-Fi adapter on my ThinkPad. I’m currently using 6.16.10-200.fc42.x86_64, and I’ve already tried the fallback kernels (6.16.9-200.fc42.x86_64, 6.16.8-200.fc42.x86_64), but the issue still isn’t fixed. I also have a 0-rescue kernel for Fedora 41, but it failed to boot for some reason.
I have a dual-boot setup with Secure Boot enabled, but everything was working fine for the past 8 months, so I’m not sure what changed.
