Hello,
I was advised to reach out to this mailing list regarding severe
wireless connection issues with my MediaTek card. I am writing to
request a review of the `mt7921e` driver. While I appreciate the
significant improvements made to the `mt7902` driver recently, the
support for some newer chipsets currently feels almost unusable in
real-world conditions.
My hardware details are as follows:
```text
02:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express
Wireless Network Adapter
Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device e0cd
Kernel driver in use: mt7921e
```
Below are the most consistent bugs and instabilities I have observed to
the date that constantly interrupt our workflow:
* The adapter often fails to discover nearby access points, despite
multiple mobile phones confirming their active presence.
* Both 2.4GHz and 5GHz WLANs frequently remain undetected, even when the
laptop is directly next to the router.
* Regardless of physical proximity to the modem, the connection process
regularly hangs on "Configuring interface" (in the KDE Plasma desktop
applet) for over 15 seconds. After this delay, the connection either
succeeds or fails completely.
* When successfully connected to 2.4GHz bands, download speeds are
remarkably slow and fall significantly below what my phone achieves on
the same connection.
* The detection range is severely limited; establishing a link to a 5GHz
SSID requires being in the exact same room as the access point.
* Introducing a single wall between the router and the laptop triggers
the aforementioned 15-second "Configuring interface" hang, usually
resulting in a failed connection.
* Upon failing to connect to an otherwise healthy access point, the
system enters an infinite loop. It hangs on configuration, fails, jumps
to the next saved SSID, fails again, and cycles endlessly through all
saved profiles.
* Overall connection stability is exceptionally poor. A successful
connection might persist only if the laptop remains perfectly
stationary. Otherwise, the link randomly drops after a few minutes with
a "Connection deactivated" state, triggering the failed connection loop.
* Attempting to bypass these issues by tethering to a mobile hotspot
directly next to the laptop also fails. The adapter either cannot detect
the hotspot at all or hangs during configuration, leaving the machine
entirely offline.
The failing connection loop in `dmesg` looks like this over a span of
several minutes, clearly illustrating the continuous authentication
timeouts as the adapter cycles through my saved profiles:

Thank you for your time and for reading through this report. I would
greatly appreciate it if this could be routed to the appropriate
maintainers to help address these driver issues. Have a great day
wherever you are.

While I appreciate the significant improvements made to the `mt7902` driver recently, the support for some newer chipsets currently feels almost unusable in real-world conditions.

Hi!
These details could be helpful:
- Laptop model
- Wifi card's PCI ID (from "lspci -nn")
- Name and version of the Linux distro
- Full output of dmesg
The mt7921e module has a parameter called "disable_aspm". Have you
tried to set this to 1? Just a random thing you can try.
I'm not sure if it's necessary with the Mediatek cards, but if you
try this parameter, do a cold boot (set the parameter using the
bootloader or a file in /etc/modprobe.d/, shut down the laptop, then
turn it on again).
I added the maintainers of mt76 to the Cc list.

Hello Angel,
The first thing that comes to mind after reading your report is that
the connection between the antennas and card is not good. Recommend
that you remove the back of the laptop and check the connections or
get your tech support to do it.
My wife uses a laptop with mt7921 based card (kernel 7.0) and I am on
a desktop with a mt7922 based full size PCIe card (kernel 7.0). Both
operate very fast and stable through 2 walls and ~8 meters.

While I appreciate the significant improvements made to the `mt7902` driver recently, the support for some newer chipsets currently feels almost unusable in real-world conditions.
