&gt; &gt; &gt; The only splat that shows in either attachment is due to you not installing the
&gt; &gt; &gt; regulatory database that sets the channels etc. for your domain. I do not know
&gt; &gt; &gt; what it is called for your distro - it is wireless-regdb on mine. It is unlikely
&gt; &gt; &gt; that this is the cause of your problem, but who knows?

&gt; &gt; I installed the wireless-regdb package. The error message about
&gt; &gt; regulatory.db went away, but the system still froze.
&gt; &gt; I'll try the rtw_core parameter disable_lps_deep=1 now.
&gt;
&gt; disable_lps_deep=1 did not help.

The patch set called "rtw88: add scan notify to firmware and refine fw_feature check" may have fixed this problem. I've been running commit 6ccdad5a58e18eac6b1335f05f94bf2b36146e00 from lwfinger/rtw88 for 3 days now with no freeze. It was impossible to go more than a few hours without a freeze before these patches.


Sounds good. I will keep porting the patches submitted to wreless-drivers-next to the rtw88 repo at GitHub. I have no idea why this would preclude a system freeze, but the Realtek guys might.
