Laptop model is: ASUS ROG Strix G17 (2022) G713 or more specifically G713RW

lspci shows:

04:00.0 Network Controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 7922

dmesg shows:

mt7921e 0000:04:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
mt7921e 0000:04:00.0: disabling ASPM L1

mt7921e 0000:04:00.0: Message 2000008a (seq 2) timeout
mt7921e:  probe of 0000:04:00.0 failed with error -110

Kernel of install medium is 5.15.60-1-MANJARO

Edit: I think i discovered the reason, this card is only supported in kernel 5.17 or later. MediaTek MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter

However taht is for device 14c3:0616 my device id is 14c3:7922; could be it’s supported by the same driver though: Linux Kernel Driver DataBase: CONFIG_MT7921_COMMON:

Though that one claims to be from kernel 5.16 not 5.17.

Update: I have installed kernel 6.1 it still does not work, but fails differently:

I solved that last error by doing a cold boot, seems it’s a known issue for this wifi/bluetooth chip. It’s performance also seems to be a bit up and down. Worst case i can swap it out for one with higher linux compatibility.
