Hi,
I use backported kernels to make TL-WN725N and other hardware to work, though I have discovered that when using Linux 6.11.5+bpo (compared to 6.10 bpo or official 6.1), SOMETIMES (1/10, 1/5 tries) Wifi USB dongle like WiPi (RT5370) or TL-WN725N (RTL8188EUS) becomes "unavailable" from NetworkManager's POV after boot or after plug-in:
nmcli d:journalctl:This is this failure looks in kernel log when WiPi is beging pluged-in (shows
"associated"!?):
And this is debug NetworkManager log at the same time:I am using `wifi.backend=iwd` to avoid some issues in the past.
`wifi.powersave = 2` does not help.
Re-pluging device can make it work, or fail again. It's random.
Restarting NetworkManager might also help.
Any ideas what changes in 6.11 could have caused it, how to workaround it?
I've reported bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1090181
P.S.: ipv6 errors due to ipv6 being disabled in kernel args.
P.S.P.S.: This is ChatGPT analysis of good.nm.log vs bad.nm.log:
good.nm.log
good.kernel.log
bad.nm.log
bad.kernel.log

Re-pluging device can make it work, or fail again. It's random.
Restarting NetworkManager might also help.
Any ideas what changes in 6.11 could have caused it, how to workaround it?
I've reported bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... ug=1090181
P.S.: ipv6 errors due to ipv6 being disabled in kernel args.
P.S.P.S.: This is ChatGPT analysis of good.nm.log vs bad.nm.log:
The logs:Key Observations
1. Device Initialization
Bad Log: The device initialization (rt2800usb) proceeds but doesn't successfully transition to a fully managed state. The device remains stuck at an "unavailable" or "disconnected" state.
Good Log: The device (rt2800usb) transitions cleanly through states: disconnected → prepare → config → ip-config → activated. The device gets an IP address (172.17.255.100) and establishes a connection.
2. Device State Changes
Bad Log: There are repeated state changes between disconnected and unavailable. The log indicates that the supplicant is disconnecting (Activation: failed for connection) early in the process.
Good Log: The device moves through the full activation sequence without any interruptions, and the supplicant successfully completes the handshake.
3. DHCP/IP Assignment
Bad Log: The connection process fails before an IP address can be assigned, and the interface doesn’t proceed to the ip-config stage.
Good Log: The interface successfully configures IPv4, obtaining 172.17.255.100/24.
4. Wi-Fi Backend
Both logs indicate the use of nl80211 for device control and highlight compatibility with the driver (rt2800usb). However:
Bad Log: The connection fails during interaction with the supplicant or hardware.
Good Log: These interactions succeed.
5. RFKill and Device Management
Both Logs: RFKill indicates the device is unblocked and available. However, the bad log seems to drop the device into an unmanaged state repeatedly.
6. NetworkManager Activation
Bad Log: The device fails at the config stage with the error Activation: failed for connection.
Good Log: The activation succeeds, the dispatcher scripts run, and the connection is marked as active (device activated).
