When using the kernel version 4.20 or above my usb wifi stick doesn't work until I reboot my system, dmesg shows this message when the issue occurs: xhci_hcd 0000:15:00.0: WARN Set TR Deq Ptr cmd failed due to incorrect slot or ep state I've found that the problem is caused by this commit: commit f8f80be501aa2f10669585c3e328fad079d8cb3a Author: Mathias Nyman <mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx <mailto:mathias.nyman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>> Date: Thu Sep 20 19:13:37 2018 +0300 xhci: Use soft retry to recover faster from transaction errors It looks like it only affects wifi sticks(various models) on specific hardware configurations(I have this issue on my Ryzen pc, my Intel pc isn´t affected, but someone in the kernel bug tracker mentioned that he has this issue on an Intel notebook as well (only with USB 3.0 ports though)).
