Hi folks,
Im using Linux Mint 21.1 on a laptop with a mt7921 wifi card. As the title says, wifi works flawlessly (on par with Windows) with kernel 5.15.0-56, but does not work in 5.15.0-60 or newer. With the newer kernels it detects available wifi networks, but fails to connect to it after entering the password (failure message: Activation of Network Connection Failed). In the rare occasion that it connects, the wifi is extremely slow (1-5 Mega bits per second download).
If some one is knowledgeable about this, could you help me find a solution?
Notes:
1. This problem started after the landlord changed the wifi provider. Since, I don't have access to the router, I'm unable to find information about its settings.
2. I've disabled the power savings for wifi.
3. I'd like to replace mediatek with intel, but because i am unable to change cards right now, i'd be very grateful for a software solution
Thanks!
Edit:
dmesg shows that authentication attempts keep timing out:
