 Posted: Sat Jan 09, 2021 7:59 pm Post subject: usb wifi stopped working on recent 5.10.x kernels |
 |
|
I have this usb wifi stick and had it working for quite some time with rtl8812au_aircrack-ng from pentoo overlay. Last working kernel is gentoo-sources-5.9.8.
lsusb: | Code: | | Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1853 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. 802.11ac NIC |
lsmod:
With last few 5.10 kernels it compiled (at least the -9999 version), but booting those kernels there is no wifi connectivity and lsmod does not show 88XXau loaded. I can modprobe 88XXau and its listed then, but it still does not establish network connectivity.
Does anyone happen to know if those kernels are not supported, or if there is a fix for this? Or is there another package/module I should try?
This is dmesg from a booted 5.10 kernel and this is from a working kernel 5.9.8 in case it helps track down the source of that problem.
Apparently an upstream problem so I opened an issue. If there is another package I could try, I'd love to come to know. |

Hi Elleni,

Just a guess: maybe the problem is due to that change in 5.9.9.

It would be interesting to see the link to the issue.

I see, there was a confirmation (by tofurki) that 5.10.2 works after applying the PR #773. Did you try the kernel 5.10.2 with the module -9999?

The 9999 version compiled fine here, but booting 5.10.4 and 5.10.5 kernel, the 88XXau module does not show in lsmod. I can do modprobe 88XXau which returns no error and lsmod then lists the said module, but the wifi network just does not come up. /var/log/messages shows: | Code: | kernel: 88XXau: loading out-of-tree module taints kernel.
kernel: usbcore: registered new interface driver rtl88XXau |
.config gentoo-sources-5.10.5
.config gentoo-sources-5.9.8
emerge --info

5.10.2 and 5.10.4/5 are different kernels.
Sure, it's up to you, to check 5.10.2 or not. But I would check...

| Tested 5.10.2 and its same thing as described for 5.10.4/5 - builds fine, but does not load the module and create the wifi adapter. modprobing manually it shows same loading out-of-tree module taints kernel message reported above. |

Maybe some configuration of your system differs from tofurky's? Couldn't it be an issue of /sys/bus/usb/devices/INTERFACE/authorized? Like there.
