I've just connected up a new wifi dongle that came with my
motherboard to the motherboard wifi terminals. Given that the device
is not USB or PCI, how do I determine what F43 sees the device as and
what chipset F43 thinks it has? If what Windows says the device is,
is correct, I believe that I read somewhere that the Linux Kernel
will potentially not have support for the device until the 6.18
kernel.
Certain devices are connected via PCI or USB, do do not have the common
connectors.
Check lsusb and lspci for relevant output.
I didn't believe the device was USB or PCI because it is connected
directly into the motherboard via terminals on the back of the PC (where
the motherboard provides the Audio and USB ports direct wired to the
motherboard rather than attached via wires connected to the motherboard
(as the port on the front of the PC case are). How do I determine what
Fedora thinks it is if I can't be certain exactly what it is, and wifi
is not active.
Windows is telling me the wifi device is a "Mediatek MT7927 Wifi 7 Media
Card". What I have read tells me that mt7927 is similar to mt7925 with
the only difference being on the mt7927 the 6 GHz channel supports a
higher connection speed, but I also believe I have seen an article on
the net that was saying mt7927 support was potentially not being
provided in any form until the 6.18 kernel.
Having said this though, if I don't know exactly what device it is, how
do I determine whether lsusb or lspci is actually seeing it. The direct
connected wifi dongle is replacing a usb dongle that appeared to also be
using the mt7927 chipset which lsusb indicated couldn't be seen, until
as I've seen indicated with other distributions the dongle was removed a
plugged back in underneath the running system.
