Hello to all.
1.- I have an Asus laptop Vivobook Model M1502YA, everything works fine except there is no wifi network. The System Information is in point 2 below.
I did:

It's not an MX-specific issue. Sadly it doesn't seem to be supported yet in Linux kernel.

Even not with 6.11 ( 7902 gives no output when searched on mine with 6.11 kernel)

Furthermore: No such firmware , too. (currently).
