[Nobara Linux 42] MediaTek MT7920 Wi-Fi stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

Hardware:

Laptop: Acer Nitro V15 (QNV15-41-R2GT)

Wi-Fi card: MediaTek MT7920

Distro:

Nobara Linux 42 (KDE Plasma)

Clean install (Ubuntu was completely removed)

Issue:

Wi-Fi networks are detected but never connect

NetworkManager gets stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

No password prompt appears

Connection never completes

What I already tried:

Full system update

linux-firmware installed

mt7921e driver is loaded correctly

rfkill list → nothing blocked

Tested multiple kernels via GRUB (6.17.x and 6.16.x)

Secure Boot disabled

Wired connection / USB tethering works fine

Same behavior across all tested kernels

Result:

Wi-Fi always stuck on “Waiting for authorization”

On Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, the same hardware works out of the box

Question:

Is there a known Nobara/Fedora + NetworkManager issue with the MediaTek MT7920?

Any clean solution (without downgrading NetworkManager or recompiling drivers)?

im mainly buying this to get fast speed ticks in Europa Universalis V but also be future proof for a couple of years. playing on 1440p. Framerate is also important in other games, stable 170+.

Ok I'm new to Garuda and I've been trying to get my native linux gog games to run in vulkan but MangoHud is saying they're defaulting to Open GL. Open GL is ass. I need Silksong at 144fps, please. Can someone help?

when I try play csgo, I get an error saying my gpu doesn’t support vulkan 1.2+. I would just give up but csgo doesn’t need vulkan it can run on OpenGL too, how can I force csgo to run with open gl?

I've been on Linux (Fedora 43 at the moment) for a few months now and really enjoying it thus far. But I have noticed some games running rather poorly. I chalked it up to bad optimization at the time but randomly deciding to boot the game in Windows made me notice the games run almost twice as well in Windows, 70-90FPS vs 180 on Windows. The games in particular are Death Stranding and Yakuza 7: Like A Dragon.

My specs are:

Ryzen 7 5800x3D

RX 9070XT

32 GB RAM

Running Fedora 43 KDE

I've mostly noticed that it seems to be due to a low CPU usage, where it seems to be single core bound, with that core never pushing about 60% usage. I've tried gamemode, changing my power profile and changing kernel.split_lock_mitigate to 0 and none of them seem to make more than a few FPS difference. I'm using the latest Proton-GE and Mesa through system updates. Is there anything else I could do to help with this? I'd much rather use Linux if possible but this is rather annoying.

Edit: Mangohud stats

ignore my random insane ramblings, i'm just here to rant lol

so i've had a 7800XT for over a year now and to be honest, this is the last AMD graphics card i will ever buy. my time with the GPU has been plagued by driver timeouts/crashes/resets on both windows and linux. i am genuinely so sick of it.

maybe it's a hardware issue, although i doubt that considering this has happened even when i first picked up the card. and, yes, this has happened across multiple different games as well, with one game in particular causing it to happen the most in recent memory(RV There Yet)

before you tell me how to diagnose issues, fix problems, etc, i have already done everything i could think of. the crashes still happen, completely interrupting everything i am doing. i guess my experience with AMD is just unlucky. oh well

Hello internet,

I wanted to play some VR games, but unfortunately my vive pro 2 won't connect anymore, it worked before with CertainLach/VivePro2-Linux-Driver etc with the same setup.

My setup:

Arch Linux with Hyprland,R7 5800x, RX 7600XT, mesa and the radeon driver should be up to date.

I tried repluging everything in every order, tried different DP ports, different USB ports, no success. Under Windows no problem, detects everything. In dmesg I only get a error for "uvcvideo: Failed to set UVC probe control : -32"

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks in advance :)

I'm sure many of you who play Fallout 4 are familiar with Buffout (https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/47359?tab=posts&BH=0). So the question I have is this. Is it possible for the archive limit bypass to work on linux? When i activate it crashes the game on launch. when not active everything works fine. I like to be able to add more mods to my load order without merging. Distro is Nobara and proton version is GE-proton10-23

Hello! Recently swapped to Linux and have been itching to do some proper sim racing in the few games that currently work on it, but I've been having issues with my pedals (Logitech Pro Racing Pedals) being detected in game. They seem to be detected in Linux just fine, they show up with the correct name in lsusb, and evtest shows that the inputs are getting through, but so far I haven't been able to actually bind them to anything in-game. So far I've tested on Assetto Corsa, AC Rally and American Truck Simulator, but none of them have picked it up. Is there some kind of virtual controller I could use that could map it to something that would be recognized? I tried Oversteer, but nothing popped up there either.

I've been using Flatpak Steam for some time, but a few issues had me regretting my decision. I wanted to use my 8bitdo SN30 Pro with mGBA (also via Flatpak) but controller support in that application is not very robust, so I figured I'd use Steam Input to translate my buttons to keyboard keys. Unfortunately, adding a Flatpak as a non-Steam game in Flatpak Steam is not very straightforward...

This was the last straw; I uninstalled Flatpak Steam and reinstalled Steam via RPM Fusion as I'm using Fedora. I've now added the mGBA Flatpak as a non-Steam game, and used the controller configuration panel to map each button to the default keybinds configured in mGBA. While Steam recognizes my controller, and I've ensured that Steam Input is force-enabled for the mGBA entry in my library, none of my button presses are making it to mGBA.

To further troubleshoot this, I mapped some of my controller buttons to the Volume Up and Volume Down system actions. Curiously, nothing happens when I press these buttons, which leads me to believe that mGBA isn't at fault here- It seems like my controller's button presses aren't being translated to anything configured within Steam Input.

Any idea what's going on here? When I run Steam via the terminal, I don't see anything too crazy. I searched this subreddit for anyone encountering something similar, but I didn't find anything too helpful. I do still have the steam-devices package installed for my old Steam Flatpak installation- would that be causing me any trouble? I've restarted Steam, my PC, the controller... Steam Input seems to be working fine with this controller and Red Dead Redemption 2! Maybe mGBA is at fault after all? Let me know what you think.

Why doesn't anyone ever recommend this distro? I kept trying CachyOS, but it just refused to install. Endeavour is just the same and it's also faster. What's the catch?
