Mt7915e wifi not working

so I tried the new 23.05.3 today and the issue is still present.
One thing I had noticed in LuCI was the missing encryption option under the 'wireless security' tab, same as in 23.05.2, but after installing wpad, and some other packages, I can now select password encryption.
However, under advanced settings for the wireless interface configuration, it still is showing undefined mac address.
Running iwinfo shows the mac address of the wlan0 and wlan1 but it takes close to 2 minutes to load the output (very strange, should be instantaneous).
Any suggestions what I might be doing wrong?
It hangs just after this line:

Tx-Power: 3 dBm  Link Quality: unknown/70

the whole output is:
