Hi,
Recently I purchased a laptop (Asus Vivobook S15 M5506NA-MA056W).
I installed fedora 41 alongside Windows 11.

peter@fedora:~$ nmcli radio
WIFI-HW WIFI WWAN-HW WWAN
missing enabled missing disabled

What does "nmcli device" show?

peter@fedora:~$ lspci -n -n -k
...

Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device [105b:e0de]
Kernel modules: mt7921e
...

peter@fedora:~$ sudo dmesg | grep mt7921e
[ 7.042421] mt7921e 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)

This looks like an almost identical failure state to https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=216589 which was resolved by:

"Changing APM options to enable S4/S5 ErP seems to have fixed this. Even though it was brought back to disabled."

(Not sure what toggles this, I'm guessing it'll be boot-time kernel parameters or something.)

So the kernel module mt7921e is diabled.
I tried modprobe, I did a reinstall, to no avail.

What does lsmod show, is the module loaded but the device still fails to function?

There's a few more things to investigate listed in this thread too: https://github.com/openwrt/mt76/issues/548#issuecomment-1596163969
