I hate Mediatek WiFi 7 card
I recently bought a P14s Gen 6 AMD, and it came with the mt7925 WiFi 7 chipset. I assumed that it was replaceable, but now I’m stuck with a malfunctioning WiFi and in 3 week I leave France to go study 1 year in Canada. I don’t want to troubleshoot in a foreign country and I heard online that sometimes it just don’t work, and I’m on Linux NixOs which doesn’t make my problem easier to solve.
The current situation is : the mt7925 fails multiples times 4-way handshake when connecting to my WiFi, prompting me for password but it won’t connect anyway, and after multiple tries it magically connect by black magic like idk 🤷🏻♂️.
Maybe it’s works better on Windows, but my thinkpad will never see windows until I’m dead.
My final advise is to never buy a thinkpad with soldered mt7925. Even on windows it seems not that great.
Ps: I enabled unfree firmwares, and I’m on a recent kernel (7.1.something)
