Wifi 6e supported?
Hello. Is wifi6e supported on the Legion Go with the latest version of Bazzite?
I can connect to my wifi 6e network on the 6ghz channel when it is booted into Windows but not when it is booted into Bazzite OS. The wifi is only able to see the 2.4 and 5ghz channels inside Bazzite.
Is there a driver I need to install to get it to be able see and utilise my 6ghz channel?
Thank you

Did you ever find an answer for this? Even updated Bazzite still doesn't show 6Ghz at all.
I'm sure it's not. I cannot see my 6ghz channel at all on my ROG ally with any of the common steam os distros. (bazzite, chimera, nobara). I am sure this is because they do not support WPA3 which is required with wifi 6. I have scoured all 3 forums, reddit, and discord to no avail.
It's the ONE problem I have with bazzite on my ally.
If you ask me it's due to the
Intel driver under linux if your device uses an Intel-WiFi chipset...
So check which chipset you have for WiFi and search for that.
I doubt this is related to Bazzite, im almost cetain it will be same on all Linux variants...Both on the ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, WiFi 6E isn't available. I think they both use Mediatek chipsets.
The ally has a MediaTek Filogic Wi-Fi 6E
Also now that I recall, I have to manually specefiy my mac address in settings for it to even connect to my 5g.
That is odd behavior...
MAC address should not matter i think, unless you have it configured on your router to only allow some MAC's...
Either way your adapter shuld keep it's own MAC unless it is somehow configured to use a random one on each initialisation. (Depends on driver)
I'm guessing this isn't going to get fixed since 6E is quite niche. I asked in the main bazzite chat, but didn't get really any response. Could just be due to drivers, but without any troubleshooting options, I have no idea.
The mediatek driver is part of the kernel
Look up if there's a kernel patch for it in newer kernels
Understood. Wasn't sure if this was a Fedora thing, or a driver that was included. Maybe F40's updated kernel will fix it. Thanks for replying. 🙂
Not a fedora thing, everyone gets the same kernel more or less
Bazzite does not touch wifi stuff
F40 finally allowed me to see 6Ghz, but it's a bit inconsistent. Based on what I can tell, the firmware for the MT7922 was updated last week and is included. But while I can see it and connect, it'll eventually disconnect. I'll just wait for updated binaries and stick to 5Ghz for now.
