Hi,
Since a clean install of 12.5 bookworm, on an HP Stream laptop, I have been having problems with the RT5370 USB wifi adapter (which worked fine under 12.1). I've had this machine for a few years and it's had several Linux versions installed (CentOS, Rocky, before I converted to Debian). I've never had a problem with the RT5370.
The on-board Broadcom wifi card has never worked under any version of Linux, hence using the RT5370. I've done my research and found several links, such as:
viewtopic.php?t=75758
viewtopic.php?t=135045
viewtopic.php?f=7&t=96169
https://wiki.debian.org/rt2800usb
The problem is that any network activity (web browsing, apt updates etc) is taking a long time and, in many cases, fails or times out. Even ssh connections from my main machine to the laptop run very slowly and often lag when using the console.
Here's the basic information on my system:
lspci shows the Broadcom card:
And lsusb shows the Realtek adapter:
iwconfig shows the adapter is connected to the correct SSID and ip addr also displays correctly:
Now we get into areas I'm not 100% sure about. From various threads (including those above) I see:
Trying to install the Brave browser with apt, I get:
Note here that it took nearly 40 minutes to reach this fail-point. Not very good, I'm sure you'll all agree.
I'm seeing lots of messages like these in journalctl:
So I guess my questions are:
1) How do I get the RT5370 working?
2) Is it possible to get the Broadcom card working?
3) I note from earlier threads that it might be possible to use the "compat-drivers backport from the kernel team" (though the post goes back to 2012 for a much older Debian version). Is this still a possible workaround?
4) Why would the RT5370 work under 12.1 but cause problems in 12.5? I assume drivers and kernel modules changed between point releases.
Many thanks if you've read this far. Please let me know if there's any further information you need to help solving this issue.
Kind Regards,
Colin
