Station Mode not working for MT7921u / Comfast CF-953AX #355
Comments
The issue at #349 is likely the cause. |
Status of this issue? I agree with @Ekiben542 This issue can be closed if the issue is fixed. |
The issue is still happening on 6.6.8. Is there any workaround? Thanks. |
We kinda need to know what the problem is first. I have a test system that is using kernel 6.7 rc5 or 6. I'll take a look.
That is the default Mediatek vip/pid which is good but it doesn't tell me what specific adapter that you have. Can you also provide computer hardware information?
That is interesting. |
The adapter that I have is Comfast CF-953AX bought on AliExpress that's provided here. As for the hardware information, it's an ASUS A409JP laptop. The CPU is i5-1035G1, 8GB Kingston DDR4 memory, 2TB Kingston KC3000 NVME. It has onboard wifi card, Intel Wireless-AC 9461 which registered as phy0/wlan0. Please let me know if you need more information. |
Nice laptop. The CD-953AX seems like a decent adapter as I continue to watch message traffic and see a lot of people happy with it. Try the following and post the results: $ rfkill list all |
Thanks. Here's the results: rfkill list all ✔ |
Well, that does not give us anything we can use. I just did some testing on a test system with kernel 6.7 rc5 and the adapter works fine. I am stumped. Have you looked around the arch forums? Maybe others are seeing the same thing. You could boot the laptop with a usb flash driver with something like Ubuntu 23.10 on it but you said it was working until a very recent kernel upgrade in arch. My only suggestion right now to get you going is to backup to the last kernel that was working and wait until this gets sorted out. |
Thanks, I will look around arch forums. I just tested on Pop OS kernel 6.6.6. Works fine. Not sure why it won't work in Arch. On Pop OS, it works flawlessly plug and play. |
Apparently, this is issue is caused by linux-firmware package as stated in arch forum. I will try downgrade it and see how it goes. |
For now, I finally managed to resolve this by reverting linux firmware to this version: linux-firmware-20230918.3672ccab-1-any.pkg.tar.zst. Beforehand, I have removed these 3 files in /lib/firmware/mediatek. WIFI_MT7961_patch_mcu_1_2_hdr.bin Then, I downloaded linux-firmware-20230918.3672ccab-1-any.pkg.tar.zst and linux-firmware-20230918.3672ccab-1-any.pkg.tar.zst.sig and place both in /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/l/linux-firmware/ Then, sudo pacman -U file://linux-firmware-20230918.3672ccab-1-any.pkg.tar.zst Then, reboot. If still undetected, unplug the adapter and replugged it. Thanks to @morrownr for suggesting to look in arch forum and the person who found the fix in arch forum: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=291391 |
FYI: On the Main Menu is the option:
I keep that |
This adapter works fine in kernel 6.3, 6.4, 6.5, 6.6.3. Recently when I upgraded my system (arch linux) from 6.6.3 to 6.6.5, the issue start happening.
The issue is when replugged the adapter whether on hub or direct USB 3 port, it will recognized in lsusb for a while, then it went missing. I have tried numerous ways to disable autosuspend using udev rules, re-install firmware as guided here, even reinstalling the system from scratch. In archiso boot medium, I was able to use my adapter fine because the 2023.12.01 archiso is running on kernel 6.6.3. I can't figure out what other way to fix this issue.
Below are the output of lsusb, dmesg and journalctl.
