over my past 3 linux installations i've used both: - rtw_8822ce (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/, built locally) - rtw88_8822ce (built in, still unsure what the difference is) and experienced frequent to very occasional disconnections and general instability ive switched between wpa_supplicant and iwd, changed rtw88's options, etc. through some messing around with options the only difference i've noticed is that when disable_msi is used, the interface is online yet never detects any wifi networks, my options are as follows - no networks being detected: - rtw_pci: `support_bf=Y disable_aspm=Y, disable_msi=Y` - rtw_core: `support_bf=Y, disable_lps_deep=Y, debug_mask=0` - networks working (but being disconnected frequently): - rtw_pci: `support_bf=Y disable_aspm=Y, disable_msi=N` - rtw_core: `support_bf=Y, disable_lps_deep=Y, debug_mask=0` at different points i switched kernel versions between - `6.8.5-301.fc40` - `6.8.10-300.fc40` - `6.8.11-300.fc40` - whatever linux mint was using at the time (iirc 5.x) using fedora40 workstation kde, linux mint, etc here's some logs that might give more insight into what the issue is: [ 456.737481] wlp2s0: Connection to AP 10:da:43:96:cd:1d lost [ 458.102204] wlp2s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT [ 458.304693] wlp2s0: authenticate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (local address=c8:94:02:05:c4:a9) [ 458.367851] wlp2s0: send auth to 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 458.375293] wlp2s0: authenticated [ 458.375666] wlp2s0: associate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 458.381633] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (capab=0x1411 status=0 aid=12) [ 458.382018] wlp2s0: associated [ 458.458488] wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 30 (30 - 0) dBm as advertised by 10:da:43:96:cd:1d [ 475.619923] wlp2s0: Connection to AP 10:da:43:96:cd:1d lost [ 477.020238] wlp2s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT [ 477.221723] wlp2s0: authenticate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (local address=c8:94:02:05:c4:a9) [ 477.284976] wlp2s0: send auth to 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 477.292366] wlp2s0: authenticated [ 477.292871] wlp2s0: associate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 477.299281] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (capab=0x1411 status=0 aid=12) [ 477.299665] wlp2s0: associated [ 477.302567] wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 30 (30 - 0) dBm as advertised by 10:da:43:96:cd:1d [ 4.490323] NET: Registered PF_QIPCRTR protocol family [ 4.728234] alg: No test for hmac(md4) (hmac(md4-generic)) [ 4.756452] Generic FE-GE Realtek PHY r8169-0-100:00: attached PHY driver (mii_bus:phy_addr=r8169-0-100:00, irq=MAC) [ 4.931686] r8169 0000:01:00.0 enp1s0: Link is Down [ 5.306429] usb 1-9: set resolution quirk: cval->res = 384 [ 5.306699] usbcore: registered new interface driver snd-usb-audio [ 6.208052] wlp2s0: 80 MHz not supported, disabling VHT [ 6.411522] wlp2s0: authenticate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (local address=c8:94:02:05:c4:a9) [ 6.584173] wlp2s0: send auth to 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 6.587522] wlp2s0: authenticated [ 6.589564] wlp2s0: associate with 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (try 1/3) [ 6.594139] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 10:da:43:96:cd:1d (capab=0x1411 status=0 aid=12) [ 6.594528] wlp2s0: associated [ 6.669503] wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 30 (30 - 0) dBm as advertised by 10:da:43:96:cd:1d [ 12.051662] rfkill: input handler disabled if it's at all important, my kernel params are here: `ro rootflags=subvol=root noapic rhgb quiet` (note: for some odd reason i have to use noapic otherwise my boot screen will just be stuck on the HP logo) ps: originally this was a windows desktop that i wiped to install linux, ive heard its an issue with fastboot which i probably originally had on before wiping my ssd if you need any extra info i'm readily available in order to try and solve this, thanks so much for your help.
