Edit: partly solved on the NixOS config related issue, see post #2. The wifi instability and freeze issue remains.
Hi,
I’m running NixOS 25.11 with KDE Plasma on a Framework Laptop 13 w/ AMD Ryzen AI 7 350 & Radeon 850M. The firmware is up to date.
I’ve been running NixOS on the Laptop 13 without serious issues since ~ June 2025, pretty happy about it so far!
TL;DR:
My system is currently plagued by - as far as I can tell - at least two different issues, one related to a kernel module (xpad-noone) not supported by my version of NixOS, the other one related to a serious instability of the wifi card. My system is barely usable right now and any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for reading this waaaay too long post 
The first issue: xpad-noone preventing a proper rebuild
Since a few days, NixOS rebuild doesn’t succeed. It seems to be related to a module coming with Linux latest kernel, xpad-noone.
My up to date configuration is available at https://git.sr.ht/\~mapper/nixos-fixable . Rebuilding the config first failed after this commit. Here’s the output of the nixos-rebuild switch command:
$ sudo nixos-rebuild switch --flake -v

I’ve added a comment to a ticket on nixpkgs Github to help fixed this upstream issue. I know it’s not directly related to Framewok, but as I tried to downgrade the kernel (cf. the git history of my nixos config), another issue arose, seemingly a big instability of the wifi card management by the system.
The second issue: wifi instability
Here are the symptoms:
-
At login, the system freezes before I can enter my credentials. I have two or three seconds to login before it freezes;
-
If I succeed to login, once I’m in the session, the wifi applet doesn’t launch. Networks seem available but there’s no way to connect to it. Here are a couple screenshots:
My wifi card is a MediaTek MT7925.
Here’s the output of a couple of commands that will hopefully give more context:

That’s it!
Do any of you have experienced similar issues?
Is there any known fix that I could apply?
Once again, any help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
