Hi everyone! I'll keep this thread alive. Thanks to the three of you who have tested the last round and reported back. That was very much appreciated and helpful! Everyone else can now also go and have a try again! In the last 48 hours I pushed the next round of LinuxKPI 802.11 changes which would be good to validate on a wide set of chipsets and supported drivers. One of them fixed a firmware crash, another one re-enabled some code again which was silently not doing its things due to Linux KPI changes (and surprisingly most of it worked anyway the last months). This time you'll likely not need long testing time. Maybe a change of association or if you want a netif restart will be good tests. If the last round of changes are good, I am currently cleaning up some loose iwlwifi ends and will push the driver update and we'll all be on v6.19. After that more LinuxKPI 802.11 bits for Realtek etc. will slowly start showing up. I can only emphasize that all your testing will help us with what will be shipping in 15.1-R. The earlier we catch possible problems the more likely your wifi will work in the release! Lots of health and joy, /bz -- Bjoern A. Zeeb r15:7home | help
