Resolved: I will be replacing this card with a different wifi card. There is no linux driver for it
My asus laptop is unable to access my wifi , I tried several things to fix it but none of them worked.
lspci -k
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd, RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev15)
DeviceName: GLAN
Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. Device 1873
Kernel driver in use: r8168
Kernel modules: r8169, r8168
ip link shows
lo
(state UNKNOWN)
eno2
(state DOWN) but not anything related to wifi
I used to have the r8169 driver but I installed the r8168-dkms driver and it still does not work.
sudo dmesg | grep r8168
r8168: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel
r8168: module verification failed: signature and/or required key missing - tainting kernel
r8168: Gigabit Ethernet driver 8.053.00-NAPI loaded
r8168: eno2: renamed from eth0
dmesg | grep wifi
and
dmesg | grep wlan
show nothing
dmesg | grep firmware
does not show any related messages
rfkill shows this:
ID TYPE DEVICE SOFT HARD
0 bluetooth hci0 unblocked unblocked
1 wlan asus-wlan unblocked unblocked
2 bluetooth asus-bluetooth unblocked unblocked
NetworkManager has active status
kernel: 6.10.10-arch1-1
fast boot is OFF, secure boot is OFF

r8168/9 is an ethernet driver and not related to wifi. Remove r8168-dkms again, and then post
lspci -k
lsusb
sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st #Assuming you have internet access in some shape or form, otherwise redirect into a file with > file.txt instead of | curl and usb walk that to a system with internet
fwiw unless you sudo'd all of these dmesgs they will have had no output, but assuming a grep for firmware did actually not contain anything you absolutely need to have linux-firmware installed.
There have been some recent reports with especially ath12k chipsets having a firmware issue, you might have to grab an older linux-firmware version, see e.g. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=299286
What exact laptop model?

There's no support for MT7902 chips - the interwebs is full of threads about it

Guess I am forced to use windows then...

I guess I am going to try replace my MediaTeK card with Intel Ax 210 NGW
Seems like that one has actual linux support and is fairly cheap
Thank you for trying to help me <3

Please always remember to mark resolved threads by editing your initial posts subject - so others will know that there's no task left, but maybe a solution to find.
Thanks.
(You might also want to generally fix the subject to inidcate that this is about an MT7902 (not the R8168))
