Ethernet and WiFi broken on Asus Tuf A15

I recently bought an Asus Tuf A15 with a Ryzen 5800h and an RTX3060

The issue I’m facing is that after boot, neither wired nor wireless network works. Strangely enough Wired starts working if I plug in the power instead of running on Battery, even if I unplug the power afterwards. Wireless however never works. However… I distinctly remember Wireless also worked in the past for some reason. The Laptop is very new and I have done more or less nothing other than installing manjaro and updating everything.

Note that I am dual booting with Windows

Any ideas why ethernet needs power to turn on and wifi doesn’t work?

You need kernel 5.12 or above for Mediatek drivers. WIFI works but blueooth not. Suspend does not work yet.

I suggest 5.13 kernel.

As you can see I’m already on 5.13, It doesn’t work.

Hey!

I have an ASUS Zephyrus G15 with the same Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module as yours.

One thing that you want to try out is to shutdown your laptop completely before switching from Windows to Linux. I noticed that just a reboot from Windows to Linux left me with non-working Wi-Fi.

I get working Wi-Fi on Kernel 5.13 and up and I get working Bluetooth with the experimental 5.15 kernel.

Thanks I’ll keep that in mind and just do a proper power cut before switching. I’ve already removed Manjaro for now, so will try it out after a while.

Today WIFI and bluetooth works with linux kernel 5.15.8 and above. s2idle works perfectly too now.
