hi,
i just wanted to create a wifi with a mt7921au usb key but i realized that there is no driver for this chipset in the 1.5 rolling kernel. The last chipset supported here is the mt7915. However, the mt7921au has been fully supported since kernel 5.19.

A little more information can be found here.
## USB WiFi adapters that are supported with Linux `in-kernel` drivers
USB WiFi adapters that are supported with `in-kernel` drivers are plug-and-play with most desktop distros. Additional work may be required for server distros as the maintainers of server distros seem to think that there are ethernet cables everywhere a user may choose to locate a server. Linux `in-kernel` drivers are preferable over `out-of-kernel` drivers for most users and use cases as problems with locating, installing and maintaining drivers are dramatically reduced allowing for a better experience.
Note: All USB WiFi adapters listed here are single-state (no Windows driver inside), single-function (no Bluetooth support) and use in-kernel drivers (Plug and Play). Buying adapters that meet this criteria greatly increases the probability of a satisfying experience that should last for many years.

Is it possible to integrate the driver into the rolling release relatively soon or do I have to build it myself?
edit:
Does anything else have to be set next to this line?? - vyos-build/packages/linux-kernel/arch/x86/configs/vyos_defconfig at 29f7a0c2e7ec400888c77663582a547c1bc2f162 · vyos/vyos-build · GitHub
