Please provide below information to diagnose this problem. 1. kernel version you are using $ uname -a 2. firmware you are using $ ls -al /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin $ md5sum /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin > rtw89_8852ae 0000:09:00.0: failed to setup chip information > rtw89_8852ae: probe of 0000:09:00.0 failed with error -22 > > I have installed the firmware-realtek package too. > > Do you have any idea about the problem ? I can't use wifi for the moment. A possible fix is to update firmware to the latest that you can download it via: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/tree/rtw89/rtw8852a_fw.bin I will also send a patch to be backward compatible with the old firmware if this problem is resolved.
