update :
i have decided to buy and replace my wifi card ( mt7902 ) with an intel ax210, i bought it off https://itwork.lt/intel-wifi-6e-ax210-netzwerkadapter1 and it works great + not that hard
- buy an ax210
- open up ur laptop ( asus vivobooks need to have open screws and then u need to use some sort of sharpish tool to unlatch the back and take it off, ull need to use some force )
- find the wifi card, a small chip that is connected by one white and one black ( usually ) wires and has sorta a slot, on it look for writing such as 'main' ( black wire ) and 'aux' ( white wire ), possibly 'made in china' and a data matrix code on it, basically an average mt7902 card ( https://avatars.mds.yandex.net/i?id=a2840bf8d69a36557056fa56c58a76157ddc8ded-7051630-images-thumbs&n=13 )
- take off the black and white wires from the card
- take off that screw u can see on the card
- put in the new card
- screw it on
- put the white wire on 'aux' and black on 'main', usually how it is, though note ur configuration
- screw ur laptop back together
- enjoy
it is not a 'hard and tedious' process how ive seen users describe it, this was one of the best 18 euro of my life ( w vat and delivery ) and one of the easiest repairs ive ever done, probably why ive kept myself from doing it lol

hello world,
not too long i got a new laptop -- Asus VivoBook M1605 16
( 512 g storage, 8 gig of ram, ryzen 5,, this is if u need any more specificity )
and i ran into an issue, i installed gentoo and my wifi doesnt work ( it didnt work
in the livecd either, i used usb tethering ),, for the past 1.5 hrs ive been looking for
drivera but havent found anything, best ivr found was 7921 but that probably doesnt
work as its in my kernel ( gentoo-kernel-bin, i didnt feel like configuring the kernel during
install )
heres the post that talks abt 7921 https://askubuntu.com/questions/1346617/ubuntu-20-04-does-not-have-mediatek-driver-mt7921-for-wifi-bluetooth
`lspci -k` shows me this

| As far as I know, the Mediatek 7902 is relatively new and does not have any kernel module support as of now. |
