Hi,

I have built packages based on the code in kernel-5.18.19:

kmod-mt7921e-0.0-2.el9_0.elrepo.x86_64.rpm

I have uploaded to the testing repository and packages should be available on mirror sites shortly:

https://elrepo.org/linux/testing/el9/x86_64/RPMS/

Please install, reboot and test. The package provides the following modules which replace those provided by the distro kernel. If there are any issues, please show modinfo for the following modules in any feedback.

mt76-connac-lib.ko
mt76.ko
mt7921-common.ko
mt7921e.ko

Thanks

Brilliant - thank you for reporting back. I will promote the package to the main elrepo repository now and marking as fixed.

I will deprecate this driver and remove it from the repository upon the release of el9.1 (due in a couple months?), which should contain the fix in it's native kernel driver. Please uninstall this package once you have updated to el9.1 and revert to using the native kernel driver.

RHEL 9.1 has now been released, and the patch required for this driver should now be contained in the kernel distro driver.

When updating to el9.1, please uninstall kmod-mt7921e package and revert to using the distro driver.

We would appreciate if you could confirm the el9.1 distro driver now works as expected for you.

Thank you
