Given two 3 x 3 matrices M,N, what is the positive integer i such that M^i = n ?

Hi Sage friends.

Given two 3 x 3 matrices M,N over the finite field F_q, I would like to find the positive integer i such that M^i = N. I presume that is not something easy to compute to large dimensions and finite fields, but I am working with F_121, where b is a primitive integer. Is this plausible ?

Best regards, Gustavo
