You'd have to go w/ a dongle or eg. https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Tethering

Have you actually tried whether the 7925 module works w/ your NIC?

What is the lspci / lsusb output for the wireless interface?

Hi everybody, I have this wifi adaptor since 2 years and I still can't use it. Is there any way to push Mediatek to do it's job?

This is an ongoing issue. I just emailed MediaTek and requested a timeline for support. I would encourage everyone to do the same.

https://corp.mediatek.com/about/contact-us

I am a customer using a motherboard that includes the MediaTek MT7927 Wi-Fi 7 + Bluetooth module:

Chipset: MediaTek MT7927

PCI ID (from lspci): 14c3:7927

Operating system: Arch Linux (x86_64, up-to-date)

At the moment, this device is not functioning under Linux because there is no working driver/firmware support available in the mainline kernel or linux-firmware for MT7927. As a result, I have no access to onboard Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on my system.

I would like to kindly ask:

Does MediaTek plan to provide official Linux support (driver and firmware) for the MT7927 chipset?

If so, is there an estimated timeframe for when this support will be available publicly (e.g., submitted upstream to the Linux kernel / linux-firmware)?

Is there any beta, NDA, or early-access driver/firmware package that Linux users can test in the meantime?

Is there a preferred channel (mailing list, repository, or documentation page) where I can follow progress on MT7927 Linux support?

There are many Linux users building systems with modern Wi-Fi 7 hardware, and having official Linux support for MT7927 would be greatly appreciated by the community.

Thank you very much for your time, and for any information or assistance you can provide.

From ehausig:

"We've discovered that the MT7927 is architecturally identical to the MT7925 (which has full Linux support since kernel 6.7) except for 320MHz channel width capability. This means we can adapt the existing mt7925 driver rather than writing one from scratch!"

I'm not sure how close it is to 7925 and it looks like that project has been put on hold.

If I choose, so - I can write a driver myself and submit for inclusion to mainline?

Yes, but for inclusion in mainline you should probably try to extend an existing driver like mt76 with the new card, otherwise you'll need good arguments about the reason for creating a new codebase.

Oh and here is the discussion about this module in the mt76 repository: https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/927
