After searching the internet for solutions on how to get my bluetooth/wifi device (MediaTek MT7922) to work, i just decided to sudo dnf search mediatek, and it turns out you have to install the firmware manually (?) by running sudo dnf install mt7xxx-firmware.noarch. Then reboot your computer and it should work, at least if you are using any MediaTek device that starts with MT7xxx :)

My guess, and it's only a guess, is that AMD may only license the chips if they're used with their in-house wifi designs. You can always swap out the wifi later if needed.

AMDs move to partner with Mediatek for a Wi-Fi module is likely strategic due to Intel taking more steps to move the wireless chipset portion from a separate module to their SoC. Intel started their CNVi push around ~2017 and it has only expanded more and more over the years.

There are essentially 2 types of Intel WiFi modules:-

• AX201 Integrates with and requires hardware functionality present only within Intel CPU's

• AX200 Has everything on-board and works in all systems.

I haven't checked, so someone might correct me, but I would be surprised if the WiFi modules {manufacturer} have been providing aren't the AX201.

I would still possibly buy and install my own Intel AX200 WiFi6 / WiFi6E module, because Intel wireless has proven to be reliable, perform extremely well, inexpensive and has excellent driver support.

I have no idea how the AMDRZ616 stacks up. MediaTek were AMD's dev partner for this WiFi module and it could be that it's a really excellent piece of hardware despite that MediaTek are, in my mind, associated with low-performing, not great Android targeted SoC's and similarly "not quite as good as other OEMs" TV I/O / SoC stuff.

For the price, it's not exactly the worst idea to just try both options. Installing WiFi modules can be fiddly, but not impossible for most people.

although more than likely in nowadays to get error message

Q: Hello! My friend today had an issue where their ASUS laptop seemed to stop connecting to the WiFi. Upon inspecting the device manager, we discovered that the MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7922 (RZ616) driver was not working with a error code of 10.

Implementing solutions and surfing the web eventually led us to this solution that worked:

Click and hold the power button for 60 seconds. This will force a reset on the Wifi / Bluetooth card, which began working for my friend again once he did this.

Hope this helps anyone with a similar issue!

A: For anyone ending up here looking for help with the New AM5 B650 Boards in your custom pc, containing this Wi-Fi Chipset (RZ616), You can use this resolution on these motherboards as well.

I had this issue after multiple fresh installs of windows 11 and after installing the latest Motherboard drivers.

Device was erroring with code 10, Even after BIOS resets and reflashes to multiple BIOS versions.

As a last-ditch effort, after trying everything I could think of, I decided to try something like what op stated on my motherboard. I performed this power button hold for 60 seconds after unplugging my power supply from the wall. Sure enough, after powering back up and reinstalling the drivers for the 100th time, this time it worked, and Wi-Fi is back up and running.

if the holding ya power button for 15-60 seconds with the power cable unplugged from power supply, DOESNT work (like for me)

i found another solution that might work for you...i have aorus x670 F5 bios

1. check event viewer for the error

2. hopefully it says what mine said "RZ616 Wi-Fi 6E 160MHz : The version number is incorrect for this driver."

3. check your wifi driver file name, might have a set of numbers, then google the wifi driver and find a higher number in the file name and download and maybe you good.

if you right click the file and goto details, the version number might not jive with the real version number, mine was in the filename, things are weird

Since Purism chose to suspend my account on their forums and delete my posts which provided customers with instructions on how to report their violation for not providing refunds to the FTC, I'll post it here again, with the hope that its helpful for some of you.

Go to https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/assistant

Select: Online shopping

Select: A problem with an online purchase or sale

Click: Continue

Check: I never received a correct refund

Fill out the rest and provide information about your individual case

Purism can then be fined for up to $46,517 per violation, because they're by law required to provide refunds for canceled orders within seven working days[*]. As I understand these reports can be made regardless of the country you're in.

had used wayback machine but it sometimes no work on tor browsers. so i need some other alternative "open source" achiveing service.

Ordered a Librem 5 almost 4 years ago, then with the promise that I would receive a phone within 6 months. Received nothing. I've asked many times for a refund and always the answer was: 'I'm afraid per our policy we cannot refund a pre-order until it is up next in the shipping line.' And in response to my latest refund request: 'I'll forward your notice to our management, will follow up with you once I hear back.' Yeah, sure. Never heard from management.

I am really beginning to question the intent of Purism SPC. Do they actually make money selling stuff? Isn't their business model just to rake in as much money as possible? And aren't the few phones they send out, and the few who get their money back, just a way to pull the wool over the eyes of the rest? And raise even more money?

I have filed a complaint with the State of California, Department of Justice: https://oag.ca.gov/contact/consumer-complaint-against-business-or-company

Can anyone recommend a lawyer? Or maybe there is a class action lawsuit I can join?

Another year, another refund policy update...

Remember when Purism at least promised to grant refunds? Those days are gone, now you don't even get that. This is what the refund policy said until recently:

> If, for any reason, you want to cancel your order before it was shipped, we will issue a full refund.

And now it says this:

> Once an order is placed Purism will deliver that product to you, no refund is offered nor given for an order in the processing queue. If in the rarest case of a product being discontinued by Purism and an order is in the queue it would be refunded. Purism delivers products for orders.

Oh, trial periods are also gone now. It went from

> If you want to return a product that doesn’t have any hardware issues, we will charge a 10% restocking fee. We accept these returns within 30 days of delivery.

to

> We do not offer trial periods on products, once the product ships it can only be returned for defective hardware and a replacement will be provided after return evaluation.

With their president gone, the shit show of not honoring refund claims and now this, I guess it's becoming more and more apparent that they're in financial struggle.

I just hope some of you guys get something (money, hardware) out of it until it all collapses.

Edit:

It seems to be even worse. They're apparently also (again) trying to apply their refund policy retro-actively:
