[bug report] driver suddenly stopped working

Outspending opened this issue · 6 comments

I have a TP-Link Archer T2U PLUS [RTL8821AU]. And i updated my kernel and just stopped working.

My lsusb is showing my T2U but i can't connect to anything.

I've tried reinstalling the drivers, manually and through AUR and neither of them worked.
I am using Arch Linux but they were working fine before i updated my kernel.

I can't see networks in my Networks tab which means its not being initialized or what. The green light on my USB dongle is also not blinking therefore isn't being registered. But i think that's just because the driver isn't working.

Here's some more kernel information:

If anyone could help me that would be much appreciated. Thanks 👍

A little update again, i downgraded my kernel to the previous version (6.6.4) and it worked again so its 100% the new kernel update. Hopefully this helps a bit.

Having the same problem here after updating to 6.6.5

Also having this problem, downgrading to 6.6.4 fixed it.

This is a known Linux kernel bug in 6.6.5 and 6.1.66 that has deadlock during the connection. Please downgrade the kernel for now.

Is there an ETA? Not a huge deal I already downgraded. Just wondering

6.6.6 and 6.1.67 are already released. You just have to wait distros update them.
