As you can see the latency is increasing at the moment of the crash. I was able to relate it to https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/133 but I am unbale to undestand the fix.

  • First, check if you have the correct package installed sudo apt update and sudo apt install linux-firmware Then and if that doesn't fix the issue, to carry out the suggested fix, you would look at the contents of /lib/firmware/rtw89 and then compare this to the files listed here. Download the missing files and place them in the /lib/firmware/rtw89 directory. If that doesn't work, create a backup of the existing files in /lib/firmware/rtw89, and then replace them all with the downloaded versions. If that doesn't work, restore the backup files. Reboot between changes for good measure. – mchid Nov 05 '23 at 23:04
  • Other than that, another option would be to download the linux-firmware package from a newer version of Ubuntu, extract the deb package, create a backup of the existing files in /lib/firmware/rtw89 and try replacing the corresponding files and missing files from the downloaded package for the /lib/firmware/rtw89 directory. – mchid Nov 05 '23 at 23:08
  • An example of a newer version would be the one here. – mchid Nov 05 '23 at 23:12
  • Quick question, are you using the lwfinger version or the default version from Ubuntu? – mchid Nov 05 '23 at 23:13
  • Sorry, I didn't add a link in the first comment. The files are listed here. – mchid Nov 05 '23 at 23:40
  • They're referring to the last paragraph of the README.md file from here. – mchid Nov 06 '23 at 00:01

    @mchid OP is using the in-kernel version rtw89_8852ae not the lwfinger version rtw_8852ae. I think the lwfinger version might be better. – chili555 Nov 06 '23 at 00:26
  • @chili555 Yeah, it looks like they claim the problem was fixed in one of the more recent updates for the lwfinger version. – mchid Nov 06 '23 at 06:05

I suggest that we try the git version of the driver. With a working internet connection, open a terminal and do:

sudo apt update
sudo apt install git bc dkms dh-sequence-dkms debhelper build-essential devscripts
git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git
cd rtw89
git deborig HEAD
dpkg-buildpackage -us -uc
sudo apt install ../rtw89-dkms_1.0.2-3_all.deb

This may produce an informational message:

Download is performed unsandboxed as root etc.

However, this is not an error and is non-fatal. Reference: What does this apt error message ("Download is performed unsandboxed as root...") mean?

Blacklist the in-kernel driver:

sudo -i
echo “blacklist rtw89_8852ae” >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
exit

I believe the later versions of linux-firmware include the needed firmware. Reboot. If the wireless isn’t working, please run and post:

sudo dmesg | grep -i rtw
