rtw89_8852be doesn't work as expected

[Saxtr0]

Hello everyone,
i have this card 03:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device b852 on a laptop i don't use every day.
I use it just when i'm not at home, so i'm not sure starting from which kernel this device stopped working properly.

I'm using OpenSUSE Tumbleweed. Usually i power on this device once in a week to update, to sync my nextcloud files, and to check everything i need is working. So, no intense testing. I notice this behaviour during my last travel, the network was really unreliable i was forced to use my 4G device via usb cable.

I read somewhere this issue happens when the device switch from 2.4 to 5GHz, so i've assigned two different names to 2.4GHz and 5GHz but issue is still there.

This is my laptop:

        Kernel modules: rtw89_8852be, rtw_8852be

The errors i'm facing is:

rtw89_8852be 0000:03:00.0: timed out to flush queues

What i did try until now is:

• rebuild the module from scratch from this git repository
• add those options to the modules:

options rtw89_pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y
options rtw89pci disable_clkreq=y disable_aspm_l1=y disable_aspm_l1ss=y

The firmware i'm using is:

[    9.929422] rtw89_8852be 0000:03:00.0: Direct firmware load for rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin failed with error -2

Do you have any other suggestion?

Thank you

There are some problems with compressed firmware (.xz) in loading firmware (https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1212808). We are working on this problem. You can eliminate it by decompressing the openSUSE-supplied firmware, or by downloading the uncompressed files from https://lwfinger.com/download and saving them in /lib/firmware/rtw89/.

The only other suggestioon I have is for you to install the version 0.29 firmware. The filename is /lib/firmware/rtw89/rtw8852b_fw-1.bin. It does make it better. Those module options do not address your problem, and should be eliminated unless other problems appear.

I am now using the module provided by the kernel 6.4.8-1-default on

LSB Version:    n/a
Distributor ID: openSUSE
Description:    openSUSE Tumbleweed
Release:        20230809
Codename:       n/a

I was forced to set option options rtw89_core disable_ps_mode=y due to unable to leave ps mode error (and all sort of the following ones).
It seems working fine now, i will report errors if any.
Also i am using the firmware provided by OpenSuse. At the end of my sessions the only lines i can read in messages file are:

# dmesg | grep rtw

As it is working, I will close this issue.
