Nah, it isn’t coincidental, it’s been a recurring issue with this card, but it might not be only the card that’s the issue but also something in the laptop it’s installed on on my side. Sometimes one of my SSDs isn’t detected and I have to cold boot to solve that particular issue as well.
The card has been quite obedient for me as of late though, I think there was a driver update for it in one of the more recent kernels (6.6 maybe?) that’s helping.
You can see from this though MediaTek MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
That this card is very up and down on linux. It’s one of the worse wifi cards to have, and tbh isn’t that great on windows either.
