i did a search on google for "what version of linux uses theMediaTek 7902." The answer came back as:
> The MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E MT7902 wireless network adapter is not natively

> added in the Linux 6.6.12 kernel series, and you can install these
> recent kernels to enable support. Ubuntu recommends using its mainline

OK I installed LinuxMint 22.3 here as a dual boot. My Windows works with the mediatek but I have no idea how to add the Linux 6.6.12 kernel series. Any simple answers for a newbie?
