WiFi Stopped Working After Reboot - EndeavourOS on Vivobook

General system Kernel, boot, graphics & hardware

Hi everyone,
I’ve been using EndeavourOS on my ASUS Vivobook (M6400RC), and everything was working fine until today. After a reboot, my WiFi completely stopped working. I can’t figure out what’s wrong. Any help would be much appreciated!

Here’s the output from inxi -Fz:

System:
Kernel: 6.12.6-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Desktop: Xfce v4.20.0
Distro: EndeavourOS

Machine:
ASUSTeK Vivobook_ASUSLaptop M6400RC_M6400RC (v1.0)
UEFI: American Megatrends v: M6400RC.310

Battery:
54.7 Wh (100%) - Condition: 54.7/63.0 Wh

CPU:
AMD Ryzen 7 6800H, 8 cores

Graphics:

  • NVIDIA GA107M (GeForce RTX 3050 Mobile)
  • AMD Radeon 680M

Audio:
Multiple devices, including AMD and NVIDIA

Network:

  • Device: MEDIATEK MT7922 802.11ax PCIe Wireless Adapter
  • Driver: N/A

Bluetooth:
Working fine, detected as Foxconn / Hon Hai device.

I suspect the issue might be related to the network adapter (MediaTek MT7922).

I already tried the hints from here: https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi/blob/main/home/How_to_Install_Firmware_for_Mediatek_based_USB_WiFi_adapters.md

Shutting the laptop down, and leaving it off for 10min solved it (for now). But that is strange, isnt it?

If you have Windows dual boot make sure you go into Windows and under power management turn off the Fast Start Up Feature.

That was off even before installing eos :slight_smile:

I’m referring to the Fast Start Up Feature in Windows under power management not Fast boot in the Bios. Just checking. :wink:
