After the last Arch update, I have a problem with wifi. NetworkManager keeps asking for the passid, over and over again. The lts and zen kernel were updated, so I downgraded them one by one as well as downgrading NetworkManager, but the problem persists. I reinstalled the gnome-keyring, thinking it might by an authetication issue. No luck.
I checked the kernel driver:
Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
Subsystem: Dell Device 0019
Kernel driver in use: wl

networkmanager 1.42.2-1 -> 1.42.4-1seem to be the packages that are causing the problem.
On the other hand, since downgrading the kernels and networkmanager did not resolve the issue perhaps these
libmanette 0.2.6-3 -> 0.2.6-4
libmfx 23.1.0-1 -> 23.1.3-2
libnm 1.42.2-1 -> 1.42.4-1libraries are the problem?
My laptop is an XPS 13 9343 vanilla Arch i3 WM, Kernel: 6.1.18-1-lts. But I have the same problem on my other laptop which is an XPS 13 9560 with the same setup. I can't find any information on this in the wiki, but obviously, the update broke something.
Can someone point me to a fix? I guess I could wait for the issue to be resolved downstream but I like to update weekly.

Yeah, ouch, I just got hit by this very same thing.
What got me back online was reverting, which resulted in 6.1.something.
best of luck.
EDIT: Also Vanilla Arch / i3
I don't know kernel level stuff. Would like to learn how the driver got broke in the latest kernel.

Have you looked at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=284244

So it is a kernel problem? That is strange since I downgraded both the lts and zen kernels with no luck. I looked at the Arch news page and there was no information on this. But I guess it's an issue "they" are aware of. I just timeshifted my rig back a few days after the downgrading did not work. Unfortunately, I did not install timeshift on my other laptop, so I had to dd an old .img file I have on a HDD. I may just wind up wiping it and starting over. Ugh. BTW.

What versions did you downgrade the kernels to? The backport of 015b8cc5e7c4d7bb671f1984d7b7338c310b185b first appeared in 6.2.3 and 6.1.16.
Offline
I downgraded to the last kernel I had in the pacman cache. I believe they were linux-lts-6.1.18-1 and linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1. The links I saw above contain patches to the kernels? It's above my pay grade but I am willing to learn. I really don't want to hold back packages in subsequent upgrades.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 6b0947944a is the fix for https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/ke … 8c310b185b which may be the cause of the issue affecting your system.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1iRfoM2 … share_link linux-6.2.5.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst is the latest arch kernel with the fix already applied
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1i6urWu … share_link linux-headers-6.2.5.arch1-1.1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst matching headers for the above if you need them.

I suppose these fixes will be included in the next update but just for pedagogical reasons, from what I understand from the wiki, I cd into
/var/cache/pacman/pkgand do a
sudo pacman -U --noconfirm my-package.pkg.tar.zst. This will then be the selection
linuxin the grub menu. I have
linux-zenand
linux-ltsinstalled also so I need to wait for a fix in a subsequent update to use these. Is this correct?

Assuming you have all the packages required in the cache then the following would downgrade the three kernels you have installed to the last version before the issue may have been introduced
pacman -U linux-6.2.2.arch2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst linux-lts-6.1.15-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstThen yes after that wait for a fix or apply the fix yourself or test my kernel.

Using the downgrade program I was able to go back to the exact same kernels in your post. I tested your kernel and yes it works! The headers also work as far as I can tell, because the Broadcom (PITA) chip/driver requires it, so I guess if there was a problem with it I would have wifi issues, which I do not.

if it does not, then I can just do a pacman -U again to go back to the downgraded one?
Yes
I have my pacman cache set to keep 2 previous updates so the old one will still be there. Is this correct?
As you went linux-zen 6.2.2.zen1-1 -> 6.2.5.zen1-1 you skipped
linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux-zen-6.2.3.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux-zen-6.2.3.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstHaving in your cache
linux-zen-6.2.2.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux-zen-6.2.5.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstAdding in linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst gives
linux-zen-6.2.2.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
linux-zen-6.2.5.zen1-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zstSo keeping the two most recent would include linux-zen-6.2.2.zen2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst which you just downgraded to.
pacman -U does not add files to the cache unless you specify a protocol so the ones I provide will not change what is in the cache.

Got it. I edited my original question before I read your reply. Your kernel and headers do indeed work. Thanks for the help.

The fix has landed in 6.2.6 and 6.1.19.
Offline
Confirm that wifi is now working with 6.1.19-1-lts. The latest update did not include version 6.2.6 for either linux or linux-zen.
