probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

After sync packages, I cannot connect to WIFI.

seems the rwt89_8852ce driver does not work according to the journal.

After I rollback all linux-firmware and linux kernel to previous version, it works again.

I am a newbie here, so I have no idea...
Is this a issue will be fixed in packages, or I should do something before I sync packages with pacman?

At a quick glance, it looks like the driver considers this firmware file invalid.

Either something wrong with whichever firmware package it came from (pacman -Qo /usr/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw-1.bin) or maybe it's a version somehow unsupported by this LTS kernel(?)

Re: probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

At a quick glance, it looks like the driver considers this firmware file invalid.

Either something wrong with whichever firmware package it came from (pacman -Qo /usr/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw-1.bin) or maybe it's a version somehow unsupported by this LTS kernel(?)

Thanks for your reply!
The output of commands pacman -Qo /usr/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw-1.bin is:

No package owns /usr/lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852c_fw-1.bin

Guess I have to look for a package provides the same thing or replacement?

After I run the pacman -Syu again, WIFI failed again with same error, and I got same output with you.

I guess I find a package helps on this issue: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw89-dkms-git. After I installed this AUR package, WIFI worked.
But I still not sure if this is expected solution on this issue.

You could try https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linu … c_fw-1.bin

Re: probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

I'm in the same boat, switching back to linux-firmware-20250311.b69d4b74-3 worked.
After installing the module needs to get unloaded and loaded again with:

modprobe -rv rtw89_8852ce
modprobe -v rtw89_8852ce

Do anyone know, where one is able to report this bug?

Re: probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

https://docs.kernel.org/admin-guide/rep … ssues.html
But I'm not sure whether that somehow applies to firmware

In doubt see https://gitlab.com/kernel-firmware/linu … type=heads
There's a mail - I guess you'll have to DM them as the firmware comes from realtek.

Make sure this was tested and failed on the non-lts kernel (6.14.x)!

I think upstream may be interested in hearing about LTS problems too, if the FW is confirmed to work on 6.14 then perhaps a simple change could be backported to 6.12 to enable it.

Ping-Ke Shih is also the maintainer of rtw89 drivers, so the right person for this kind of thing. And linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org would be the relevant list to Cc.

Re: probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

I wrote to Ping-Ke Shih yesterday already, after I asked, where to write to and received the following answer:

Thanks for the report. I'm not aware the new firmware format is supported after
kernel 6.13. I will revert rtw8852c_fw-1.bin to v0.27.122.0, and add v0.27.125.0
as rtw8852c_fw-2.bin.

So, yes looks like as something changed after 6.12+. I don't know, if this should still be forwarded to linux-wireless@vger.kernel.org as I can't actually tell, which change is required to get backported .

// edit

ok, Ping-Ke Shih wrote again after I asked if he knows the changes to the kernel, so that they could perhaps be backported:

I know the changes, but that isn’t a minor change, so revert firmware would be much easier.

I will send a pull-request of firmware soon.

Re: probe with driver rtw89_8852ce failed with error -22

It's OK now. Looks like linux-firmware will soon be updated with separate FW files for all the LTS kernels and for 6.13+.
Until that happens, just stay on an older linux-firmware package or move to a newer kernel.
