Wifi card driver fails to load

General system Newbie
1

I have a network card that requires the kernel module rtw89_8852ae.
When trying to load said module with modprobe dmesg shows the following:
MAC has already powered on
txdma ch busy
[ERR] poll pcie dma all idle
failed to setup chip information
probe with driwer rtw89_8852ae failed with error -110.
It worked fine previously and there were no issues with my wifi and out of nowhere it suddenly stopped to function.

i tried enabling pcie_aspm=off during startup but it did not change anything, also reseted my bios and that didn’t work aswell

Is it possible to show the output of inxi -Na

Have you tried the AUR package? rtw89-dkms-git

inxi -Na outputs:
Device-1: Realtek RTL8852AE 802.11ax PCIe Wireless Network Adapter
vendor: Lenovo driver: N/A modules: rtw89_8852ae pcie: gen: 1
speed: 2.5 GT/s lanes: 1 port: e000 bus-ID 04:00.0chip-ID: 10ec:8852
class-ID: 0280

I cannot really try the aur package as without the driver, as I have no means of getting access to the internet without it. I just have the default loopback address.

The AUR package may not work either. Did it quit working with a newer kernel?

i think, it also does not work with a fresh up to date install aswell, the live usb’s wifi works fine but once the system actually runs it fails in the exact same way

did some more testing and it even fails on plain arch linux,
building rtw89-dkms-git does not work either as I cant even get it to compile. I’m completely lost om how to evem begin fixomg this mess of a problem

I now got it to work.
Had to change the line 1177 in the file mac80211 from
.stop = rtw_89_ops_stop,
to
.stop = (void*)rtw_89_ops_stop,

Where is this you refer to? Is this in the package build?

the exact things I did were:

  1. yay -S rtw89-dkms-git
  2. cd /usr/src/
  3. open rtw89.d1fced/mac80211.c in a text editor
  4. change line 1177 from .stop = rtw_89_ops_stop to .stop = (void*)rtw_89_ops_stop,
  5. sudo dkms install -m rtw89 -v r1090.d1fced
  6. restart
    then it fully worked
