No wireless connection on my laptop

[abstract marlin]

I just installed mint into my Asus UM3504D laptop, and there is no wireless connection. I'm using my phone to USB tethering right now. I tried using the update manager and sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade in the terminal, it doesn't work.
So I used lspci -vmm | grep -i wireless to get the information for the wifi card, the terminal spat this out:
MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter

I'm assuming the issue is drivers if it can't use the device to connect.

It works fine in windows, and I tried LMDE in live environment, which wifi works. But my internal speakers don't work in LMDE for some reason.

do inxi -SNxxx in terminal and share

and also rfkill --output-all

so it appears the linux kernel has no driver there, for the WiFi card. this occurs on some brands.

you can google Mediatek MT7922 + Linux and see if any remedy

Reddit forum says that apparently there are no drivers for it. Mediatek doesn't make them, Asus does. But Asus only makes their drivers for windows. Kinda sucks, idk how I get connection through LMDE.

and hopefully get your USB-cord phone tether for internet working on the pc to get driver

well u can see your kernel version from the inxi above.

maybe LMDE kernel version is bit diff.

I mean it's Debian based, I just don't know what driver it would be using.

6.1 or so i think

you can boot live to LMDE, n run same first command i sent and see

or uname -a

I find it funny that I run the LMDE live environment and there isn't connection in that either. 💀
