Hi @BuSteR

Do you have enough bandwidth to check if commits 3d4014b5 and 2c5d4f99 fix the oops referred in your previous comment?

Thanks

When plugging in the adapter, the LED flashes for a split second. The system can not see it apart from recognizing it as a USB device. However, when putting my laptop to sleep and then waking it up, the adapter starts showing activity (the LED light blinks like it's downloading something) but it still does not show up in any network management and related utilities. Trying usbreset just kicks it back to the pre-sleep state (no activity). Nothing that raises eyebrows is to be seen in journalctl either.

EDIT: I tried reinstalling it since it stopped showing up in lsmod and I see this (note the error on step 2):

(1/4) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/4) Install DKMS modules
==> ERROR: Missing 6.8.5-arch1-1 kernel modules tree for module ax-usb-nic/3.1.0.
(3/4) Updating linux initcpios...
==> Building image from preset: /etc/mkinitcpio.d/linux.preset: 'default'
(after this there aren't any other errors)

Also, I am on kernel 6.8.4 so that's that.

Hi BuSteR

I'll try the changes locally and will upload an updated version.

Thanks for the investigation.

BuSteR commented on 2024-02-09 08:33 (UTC)

There is some bug in the driver, which I think is related to this helper - https://github.com/aircrack-ng/rtl8812au/issues/1088#issue-1784546374. In ax88179_178a.c, there is a check specifically for this, but it seems not to work properly.

#if KERNEL_VERSION(5, 16, 0) <= LINUX_VERSION_CODE
        eth_hw_addr_set(netdev, addr->sa_data);
#else
        memcpy(netdev->dev_addr, addr->sa_data, ETH_ALEN);      
#endif

        ret = ax_write_cmd(axdev, AX_ACCESS_MAC, AX_NODE_ID, ETH_ALEN,
                           ETH_ALEN, addr->sa_data);
        if (ret < 0)
                return ret;

        return 0;

}

Additionally, my dmesg is flooded with this: "============AX88279==========", and I think it's okay to add this to the PKGBUILD:

sed -i '/printk("============AX88279==========");/d' "${pkgdir}/usr/src/${_pkgname}-${pkgver}/ax_main.c"

After it is removed from ax_main.c, it doesn't print at all.

BuSteR commented on 2024-02-07 14:02 (UTC)

I might try it on x86_64 architecture and will come back with a result. I think this happens when renaming the interface, but I can't confirm it now, as the RPI is a remote gateway.

mmoya commented on 2024-02-07 12:31 (UTC)

I'm seeing similar oops both in 6.6 and 6.7 on x86_64 but the system remains functional.

@BuSteR it is probably either Raspberry Pi 4 specific, or architecture (arm/aarch64) specific, since it works for me now on amd64 on 6.7.x kernel, and I believe it worked on 6.6.x kernel before too.

BuSteR commented on 2024-02-07 08:18 (UTC) (edited on 2024-02-07 08:23 (UTC) by BuSteR)

It seems that there is a problem with kernel 6.6.X with the driver:
