The issue with the 6.18 kernel was, when I boot that kernel it
tries to use akmods to compile the nvidia driver and that compile
fails, but continues on in the boot process and displays the SDDM
login screen to login to KDE. When I supply my credentials it
switches to a black screen and then goes no further and I can't
enter any keyboard input to user ctrl+F3 to switch to a terminal,
the only option I have is to use the physical reset button to
reboot. That black screen issue is the same issue I get if the
nvidia driver I'm trying to use is not signed.
As I said above, I removed the Nouveau blacklisting from the
kernel grub entry, but that made no difference to the black
screen issue. In trying to figure out how to get the nvidia
driver to compile for that kernel I somehow managed to get DNF to
install more kernels than the maximum 3 it allows, hence filled
my 1.5GB boot partition, so some of the install scripts at the
time failed because of lack of space.
With what I tried to do to get the nvidia driver compiled I
destroyed the ability for my system to get past the black screen
issue on all kernels I had installed, so because I was doing this
on my live system and not in a VM I reinstalled F43 again, so at
the moment I don't have the 6.18 kernel.
You should try again to see if your WiFi works. I generally try to
test both very new and very old hardware as developers may not have
access to that hardware.

Thanks George, I'll try again, this time with Vmware if I can get it.
I wasn't aware the kernel developers needed access to the hardware for
this wifi device as I thought, from what I've read, that the kernel
driver module was actually supplied by Mediatek.
regards,
I've installed F43 in a QEMU/KVM VM and managed to get the 6.18 kernel
installed and active, and also seem to have gotten the akmods nvidia
driver compiled as well, although the nvidia server doesn't seem to be
able to communicate. I can't check whether the kernel has an MT7927
driver embedded in it because the VM can't detect the wifi device so it
doesn't offer me the opportunity to try to connect via wifi.
