Re: Appears rtw88 driver hangs network stack.

I am now using lagg for re0, re1, and wlan0.  I will continue testing rtw88 driver. 

Thanks for your patience.

I discovered this during testing freebsd 14.1.

System description:

slimline is an HP Slimline Desktop - 290-p0014

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-8700 CPU @ 3.20GHz
Coffee Lake (Core i7)
Ethernet    RTL8111/8168/8411 and RTL8125 2.5GbE
Wi-Fi RTL8821CE

In an effort to reproduce, I pulled /usr/src and /usr/ports using git.

I started a buildworld and ssh'ed in and tail -f /var/log/Phase1.log.
After a short while, system is frozen to ssh, and can't use console either.  The latest changes were to network code, so I'll reboot and build and install world and kernel before I continue testing... 

And this does not happen if you don't bring wlan0 up?

You do have three interfaces all using the same logical network it
seems, which makes me wonder where packets go in first place (default
route?) and certainly without lagg doesn't seem to make much sense for
re0 and re1.

You may also want to look into getting (headless) crashdumps setup which
may help you to get more information as to what is going on.

Are you also using drm-kmod and X?

I'm running 14.1-RELEASE, with q2 ports.
If I configure rtw88 and wlan in /etc/rc.conf, networking locks up after a short while. 

In what way?  What's the state of wireless?  Do you have logs?

Do you have a parallel ethernet?  Is that working?  Do you use lagg in
that case?



Where might I find current status of this driver?  Open bug reports?
