[SOLVED] Wireless interface disappears - rtw89_8852be

System:

  • ThinkPad E14 Gen 5 Ryzen 5 7530U

  • Kernel: 6.15.3-arch1-1

  • Wireless chipset: Realtek 8852BE

  • Driver: rtw89_8852be

  • No Windows installation/Fast boot

Issue
The WiFi interface wlp2s0 disappears randomly. It does not appear in ip link show, can't bring it up as it's not listed. NetworkManager lists Wi-Fi/WWAN hardware as missing. The interface/hardware shows up again in ip link show and nmtui after rebooting, but then disappears again.

What I've tried:

  • Shutdown then restart

  • modprobe -r rtw89_8852be && modprobe rtw89_8852be

  • Restarting NetworkManager, disabled auto-connect

  • Checking logs and journal

  • rfkill shows no blocks

  • No power save

  • Found similar forum issue in https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=286109, but solution did not work

  • Reinstalling Arch

Re: [SOLVED] Wireless interface disappears - rtw89_8852be

Please post your complete system journal for a boot where you lost the device, eg. 

sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

for the previous (-1) one.
Then try

rtw89_pci.disable_aspm_l1=Y rtw89_pci.disable_aspm_l1ss=Y rtw89_core.disable_ps_mode=Y pcie_aspm=off

I have added the kernel parameters. Here is the journal from the last time it failed:
sudo journalctl -b -1 https://0x0.st/8l4g.txt

See whether the module options can mitigate this.
If so, try to get away without! "pcie_aspm=off" (only keeping the rtw_* parameters)
I'm not sure whether the card dropped out or the slot went down and took the card with it :\

I added these to the end of GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT in /etc/default/grub,

rtw89_pci.disable_aspm_l1=Y rtw89_pci.disable_aspm_l1ss=Y rtw89_core.disable_ps_mode=Y

Or should I set module options with modprobe.d?

For testing purposes the kernel commandline is fine (and I prefer it because it ensures the parameters apply) but if you end up using this long-term, modprobe.d scales better (less noise on the commandline and there's also a length limit)

Thanks a lot! This solved the issue. WiFi hasn't dropped out since I added those options.
