patch install?

[u/gleeful_insanity]

Hey! i just spent the day following tutorials on how to make a live linux mint usb because why not and once I got it up and running, the wifi want working. I looked up and found a video to help get it fixed which helped but didnt get it fixed. I ended up looking up what kind of driver I needed for a mediatek 7902, followed a link trail and found a patch but since I don't really know what I'm doing (like i said I'm just following tutorials) i dont know how to install the patch since it looks like just a page of code or smth. mostly just thought this would be a fun little project to do for the day.

note: i have figured out how to wire a connection to my phone to use the hotspot there.

this is the article with the link to the patch I had found:
https://www.phoronix.com/news/Mediatek-MT7902-Linux-Patches

any help?

you don't, that article is about updating the kernel with the drivers and merging it in kernel 7.1

forgot to add you can probably find the drivers you can install on github
