Larry Finger, I forgot to send the email with the subject only realised that the email had no subject after the email had been sent. Did not expect a reply because of that. By default Gmail does not notify me that I have sent an email without a subject. I tried sending emails to linux-wireless@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx but they failed because the emails were required to be in plain text format to avoid spam and viruses like the Outlook Virus. Googled the solution and switched to plain text mode in gmail. Saved the attached logs from the terminal using the txt extension. I apologize for any inconveniences caused. I re-explain the issue below and add an issue that I did not mention in the previous email and the ones that failed to send. I suspect the USB errors are from the btusb driver and I do not have any usb device connected when the driver fails. Linux Distro: Linux Mint 20 Cinnamon (Ubuntu 20.04 base) PC: HP Notebook 15-bs1xx Network Devices: Realtek RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet driver: r8169 Device-2: Realtek RTL8723DE 802.11b/g/n PCIe Adapter driver: rtw_pci Device-3: Realtek 802.11n WLAN Adapter type: USB driver: btusb I suspect snapd to be the cause of the errors. Linux Mint 20 uses the driver (rtw_pci) that comes with Ubuntu's stock kernel 5.4 and newer if it exists. The errors also occur when using the rtw_8723de driver as obtained, built and installed using make from Larry Finger's rtw88 GitHub Repo. Without snapd the driver only fails at least once if I switch the kernel to Liquorix custom ubuntu latest kernels. Could not remove snapd because some snaps are critically required and the flatpaks of the required packages do not work as expected due to a flatpak issue. When installing snapd for the first time and when snapd is still installed: updating network related packages except wpa_supplicant, changing a setting in a network related configuration file, disabling bluetooth via systemd and creating a startup custom command to block bluetooth using rfkill via Startup applications in Cinnamon desktop and rebooting to confirm the changes cause the driver to fail and become unavailable. The errors that are logged every time the driver fails are in the attached 'log1.txt' file and in 'log2.txt' file contains some errors that have occurred when bluetooth is disabled via systemd and then reboot. Some logs in 'log2.txt' are understandable, especially the pulseaudio ones. In the 'log3.txt' file contains a repeating error that seems firmware related that is logged only when the driver is in use. After a reboot after the driver failure the driver works in most cases but in some cases a power reset fixed the issue and the driver may fail again when doing the mentioned tasks as snapd is still installed. If ethernet connection is used when installing and setting up Linux mint 20 while the WiFi driver (rtw_pci) is loaded, when using WiFi after the set up, pages load slow even if the connection is very fast and solved by disabling WiFi power management by setting wifi powersave to 2. Disabling WiFi power management causes the module to become unresponsive after at least an hour of streaming to the point that the login pages of the main router and the WiFi range extender that is connected to the main router via cable could not load. The driver is only best stable with default power management if I use WiFi to install and set up Linux Mint 20 and not using ethernet when the WiFi is still on and also not setting the crda regdomain to my current region but leave it on generic mode. A user solved his/her RTL8723DE problems by changing the module to an intel ax200 if I can recall correctly because he/she was tired of the issues of his/her RTL8723DE and will avoid HP laptops in future and probably Lenovo laptops if he/she knew about the wrong antenna information encoded to the WLAN device but they 'fix' the issue by patching the Windows driver.
