When trying to use the installation cd on a minisforum UM690 PC, it will not be able to detect the wifi card as the kernel option for it (CONFIG_MT7921E) has not been build or enabled: https://gitweb.gentoo.org/proj/releng.git/tree/releases/kconfig/amd64/amd64-6.1.38.config#n2745 If I create a kernel myself after with `CONFIG_MT7921E` turned on, the wifi card starts to work without any issue. Note that the kernel I tested was for a regular gentoo install. Not a modified installcd kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot the install cd on a computer with a MT7921E wifi card 2. Notice that you can't use the wifi card from the install cd Expected Results: The install cd should be able to initialize and use MT7921E wifi cards
