I finally worked around my problem, by installing a 6.5 kernel. This again made my 'rtw88' solution work.
As I see no simple way to check whether the 'official driver' would have worked for the 6.2 kernel, and I have a working 6.5 kernel (6.5.0-9-generic), I guess it might be best to close this 'bug'. For future reference/others with a similar problem: I installed the 'latest' kernel using info from https://tecadmin.net/install-linux-kernel-on-ubuntu/ Kind regards, Roel P.S. And, again, thank you Juerg for working with me on my problem. Unfortunately I am not 'fluent' enough in kernels&drivers to really test whether your advise would have worked. -- 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.
