Juerg, Thank you for your reaction. I made two 'journalctl -b -1' files, one after rebooting into the 'not working' kernel, the other after rebooting into the 'does work' kernel. It seems I can only attach one file in this comment, so I added the 'not working' version.
As to not using the kernel provided rtw88 driver: I did try, long time ago. But the effect is the same as I have now in the 6.2.0-36 kernel: the Wifi driver is not recognised, and I have no network. (I remember the first time having to do something like: attach a cable to a Wifi repeater so that the laptop had internet through the cable, and THEN solve the rtw88 problem by - essentially - using lwfingers solution. For some reason I have NOT been able to configure it such that dsmod works correctly on my laptop, while I got it working on the laptop my parents use [and I administrate]). Any help is appreciated. As for now I can live with the current situation: the kernel I do use is relatively current, although it is officially 'superseded'. Kind regards, Roel [Edit: added a much needed 'NOT' in the post] ** Attachment added: "kernel_not_working" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2042868/+attachment/5716997/+files/kernel_not_working -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2042868 Title: Kernel 6.2.0-36 broke RTW88 solution Status in linux package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On my Linux Mint (derived from Ubuntu) system, I relied on the excellent rtw88 solution from lwfinger (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88) to 'fix' my Realtek Wifi Driver whenever a new kernel comes out. As I understand it, the github repository normally is 'ahead' of any kernels, so if and when I do a 'git pull' of his repository before installing the new rtw88, it should work. And this has worked for quite some time, until the 6.2.0-36 kernel came along. As lwfinger himself (?) states, "Ubuntu often modifies kernel APIs, which can cause build issues. You'll need to manually adjust the source code or look for solutions specific to your distribution. We cannot support these types of issues.", so asking him is not an option. Help? Result from version: Ubuntu 6.2.0-35.35~22.04.1-generic 6.2.16 (Well, this the kernel version in which I have Wifi and thus internet, the 'does not work' kernel is 6.2.0-36, supported till February 2024) Result from lscpi-vnvn (also when running the version that still has internet) as an attachment.
