Package: linux-image-6.12.69+deb13-amd64
Version: 6.12.69-1
Severity: important
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
User: [email protected]
Usertags: amd64
Dear Maintainer,
after inclusion in mainline kernel, the module rtw_usb with its dependent
modules,
detected and initialized the USB wifi dongle with the followinig IDs:
idVendor=0bda, idProduct=a811, bcdDevice= 2.00
This did work fine with the kernels installed from Debian stable linux-image up
to version 6.12.48-1.
After upgrading to version 6.12.63-1, this module fails to identify the
device,
and upgrading again to version 6.12.69-1 does not cure the problem.
The outcome of adding this wifi dongle with 6.12.63-1 or 6.12.69-1 are the
following
entries in dmesg:
usb 1-7: USB disconnect, device number 6
usb 1-7: new high-speed USB device number 8 using xhci_hcd
usb 1-7: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=a811, bcdDevice= 2.00
usb 1-7: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=3
usb 1-7: Product: 802.11ac WLAN Adapter
usb 1-7: Manufacturer: Realtek
usb 1-7: SerialNumber: 00e04c000001
No additional entries are generated in dmesg.
The expected outcome are additional entries in dmesg like
usbcore: registered new interface driver rtw_8821au
usbcore: registered new interface driver rt2800usb

Ok I think in this case we can close the bug, doing so now, thanks for
reporting back.
