Ok, I'll try 6.6.9-arch1-1 for longer to see if I encounter the SER error. I don't quite understand what you mean with: > Therefore, if the infrequent SER doesn't bother your daily work, they suggest to just keep it as was. Do you mean I should keep using the new kernels and ignore the error? The disconnects aren't the end of the world, but they are annoying and I was hoping I could help you improve the driver to fix the problem. So I would like to continue, not just for myself, but to help improve this for others too. I have an off the shelf prebuilt PC (https://psref.lenovo.com/Detail/Legion/Lenovo_Legion_T5_26AMR5?M=90RC00UUGE), I only added a second SSD, so I am sure I am not the only one with this issue. > we can bisect the commits in detail. > I need your help to build and test driver ko. > The second way is to debug on the latest kernel and apply debug patch to dump more detail needed by internal experts. I have never built drivers before, and I don't have a lot of experience with C, but I am a developer, so we can try that. I am ready to try both options. Something else I was wondering: In the error logs I see this message: > firmware failed to ack for leaving ps mode I am guessing ps mode is power saving mode, which is weird, because the error happens during zoom calls and remote desktop sessions, which use the connection constantly. So I would not expect the Wifi-Card to go into power save mode here. I read on https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless that in quite a few cases they suggest disabling power save. I checked and power save seems to be enabled on my system: $ iw dev wlan0 get power_save Power save: on Should I try to disable it? Would that give you any new information? The arch wiki also contains a chapter specific to rtw89: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Network_configuration/Wireless#RTW89 They suggest disabling ASPM-related features using the config below. /etc/modprobe.d/70-rtw89.conf options rtw89_pci disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y options rtw89_core disable_ps_mode=y See also: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89#option-configuration https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/275#issuecomment-1784155449 However this sounds like it affects notebooks, whereas I have a desktop PC. Should I try this? Would that give you any new information?
