What kind of weird or shitty NIC you're using that needs a specific driver for Windows?

Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 Gen 8 Notebook comes with a MEDIATEK MT7922. Windows 11 does not want to install unless you circumvent the requirement for Internet or supply it with a manually downloaded driver.

Linux? Just works.

The wireless kind, presumably. Those always need their own firmware and therefore their own driver.
