Mediatech mt7925e timing out, not connecting to networks

[jagged cedar]

I bought a thinkpad T14 gen 6 amd and have installed arch over ethernet. On boot the machine gives several errors such as '8.44787 mt7925e 0000:as:00.0: message 000200c (seq 3) timout' and other errors of a similar type

sorry for the incredibly late reply, the output is

linux-firmware
linux-firmware-amdgpu
linux-firmware-atheros
linux-firmware-broadcom
linux-firmware-cirrus
linux-firmware-intel
linux-firmware-mediatek
linux-firmware-nvidia

linux-firmware-radeon

now metwork manager states that the device is not ready as well

dualbooting with windows?

was windows previously on the machine?

is "fastboot" disabled in the bios/uefi?

[jagged cedar]

not dual booting, i completely wiped windows when i bought the laptop

[hollow rock]

you might have made the error of not truly shutting windows down....

[jagged cedar]

would a fresh install, have changed that?

[hollow rock]

when you "shut down" windows it will go into "hybernation" instead...

[hollow rock]

nope

it kinda locks the hardware... thats the problem

[jagged cedar]

i see

is there anything that can be done?

[hollow rock]

you might need to re-install windows, only to then shut it down WHILE holding the shift key!

that will make it truly shut down

[jagged cedar]

i dont have a recovery image :/

[hollow rock]

idk, its the only hunch i have....
other than that your wifi should be just working...

[jagged cedar]

not even clearing cmos?

[hollow rock]

you can try that... but i dont think so

[jagged cedar]

ok then, thanks for the help

[jagged cedar]

What does holding shift do?
