Mt7921e Wireless Issues

Help
1

I’m having instability with my WiFi on my system running NixOS 24.05 where my wireless connection will drop out, die, or disappear randomly. So far I have tracked it down to the mt7921e kernel module for the Mediatek MT7922 on my desktop motherboard, as reloading it with modprobe -r mt7921e && modprobe mt7921e invariably fixes the issue. From the logs any failures that are occurring appear to be silent, only showing when the module was reloaded.

The downstream symptoms with the wireless device wlp13s0, wpa_supplicant, and NetworkManager are variable. Sometimes a connection will still be reported despite loss of internet. Other times it will show an empty scanned SSID list when trying to connect to a network. Here are some logs from this boot:

I am new to NixOS and have just started building my config. It is pushed to GitHub - eqkessel/nix-config: NixOS System Configuration. I never had issues with this on my previous Linux install (Arch Linux, ran it for a little over a year with no wireless issues).

How should I progress to fix this?

I have had more success with that chip using the stable kernel (set boot.kernelPackages = pkgs.linuxPackages_latest), but that may be problematic given that you seem to use the proprietary NVIDIA driver. Alternatively, you may try limiting the connection to the 2.4 GHz band by selecting the corresponding BSSID in the settings, since part of the problems seems to be the constant jumping between (presumably) the two bands.

Funny, I just put this card in a rock5b and cannot get it to connect to my parents wifi network at all. And of course its the same config deployed with nixos to my other machines.

But of course it happily connects to my phone’s wifi hotspot.

I suspect the firmware is buggy (still) and that there’s some variables in network config that affects things.

Really glad I took this out of my daily driver laptop and put an Intel card in it…

(EDIT: I use iwd, not sure if there’s something special about how it interogates stations and then chooses how to connect to the AP. I have this weird hunch that NM might show me different results, but not going to try.)
