Dear Maintainer,
I use backported kernels to make TL-WN725N and other hardware to work, though I
have discovered that when using Linux 6.11.5+bpo (compared to 6.10 bpo or
official 6.1), SOMETIMES (1/10, 1/5 tries) Wifi USB dongle like WiPi (RT5370)
or TL-WN725N (RTL8188EUS) becomes "unavailable" from NetworkManager's POV after
boot or after plug-in:
nmcli d:
```
wlx000f13371b37 wifi unavailable --
```
journalctl:
```
device (wlx000f13371b37): state change: unmanaged -> unavailable (reason
'managed', sys-iface-state: 'external')
```
This is this failure looks in kernel log when WiPi is beging pluged-in (shows
"associated"!?):
```

I am using `wifi.backend=iwd` to avoid some issues in the past.
`wifi.powersave = 2` does not help.
Re-pluging device can make it work, or fail again. It's random.
Restarting NetworkManager might also help.
P.S.: ipv6 errors due to ipv6 being disabled in kernel args.
P.S.P.S.: This is ChatGPT analysis of good.nm.log vs bad.nm.log:
```
Key Observations
1. Device Initialization
Bad Log: The device initialization (rt2800usb) proceeds but doesn't
successfully transition to a fully managed state. The device remains stuck at
an "unavailable" or "disconnected" state.
Good Log: The device (rt2800usb) transitions cleanly through states:
disconnected → prepare → config → ip-config → activated. The device gets an IP
address (172.17.255.100) and establishes a connection.
2. Device State Changes
Bad Log: There are repeated state changes between disconnected and
unavailable. The log indicates that the supplicant is disconnecting
(Activation: failed for connection) early in the process.
Good Log: The device moves through the full activation sequence without any
interruptions, and the supplicant successfully completes the handshake.
3. DHCP/IP Assignment
Bad Log: The connection process fails before an IP address can be assigned,
and the interface doesn’t proceed to the ip-config stage.
Good Log: The interface successfully configures IPv4, obtaining
172.17.255.100/24.
4. Wi-Fi Backend
Both logs indicate the use of nl80211 for device control and highlight
compatibility with the driver (rt2800usb). However:
Bad Log: The connection fails during interaction with the supplicant or
hardware.
Good Log: These interactions succeed.
5. RFKill and Device Management
Both Logs: RFKill indicates the device is unblocked and available. However,
the bad log seems to drop the device into an unmanaged state repeatedly.
6. NetworkManager Activation
Bad Log: The device fails at the config stage with the error Activation:
failed for connection.
Good Log: The activation succeeds, the dispatcher scripts run, and the
connection is marked as active (device activated).
