It works for me and at least the guy who submitted the recent patch. Are you using network-manager (probably even without knowing)? Did you turn off MAC address randomization? > If I downgrade to the -4 version I can get the WiFi to work again. I doubt that this is the only reason. This driver is so buggy and unpredictable that it's hard to attribute errors correctly. Try adding [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no to /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf and rebooting.
