On Kubuntu 21.10: PCIe WiFi card, after many attempts to get the driver loaded and the adapter recognized I experience loops trying to connect (actually unable to open any page after connecting briefly and disconnecting). Sometimes it works briefly.

  • Check: lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 and also: cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/* and: sudo dmesg | grep mt7

  • Your readings look entirely normal. Please boot without the USB and show us: nmcli d and: sudo dmesg | grep wlp
