[DUPLICATE] linux-firmware package seems crashing nvidia blob driver

it's duplicate of https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p2162662

I am trying to investigate nvidia blob driver crashes; related thread is https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 3#p2163083
What I found is that removing linux-firmware package seems solve crashes.
Something happened year ago with linux-firmware:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comment … ill_break/
Right now there is no crashes, but I have to work on ethernet, because Wi-Fi does not work without linux-firmware.
I am wondering what to do right now? Can't use linux-firmware because of crashes, can't use nouveau because it's slow.

sudo dmesg | grep iwlwifi

Re: [DUPLICATE] linux-firmware package seems crashing nvidia blob driver

Installed linux-firmware from AUR (1 core/linux-firmware 20240409.1addd7dc-1)
Wi-Fi works, and kernel does not crash with Nvidia drivers.

No, still crashing...

Try blacklisting nvidia_uvm: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 2#p2162662 for some of the current fidnings we have.
