Hello Kernel team,
I discovered that the 6.13.2 kernel breaks my laptop's wireless. Here are the details of my system:
- Framework 13 (AMD Ryzen 7840)
- mt7925e wireless card (purchased from:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DP68GV9V__ ;!! CTRNKA9wMg0ARbw!nB_7DXY8l5AYSvgN3AMFpJZOJVng1dxSh_2yZLKT8S8DkDE wjaGvl cmALUeik84J7ePLJnvOe-2oNQ7dxCM$ )
- Arch Linux, using IWD (3.3) to manage Wireless network
connectivity
When running the 6.13.0 and 6.13.1 kernels (from Arch), the wireless adapter worked very well. I was able to associate to my Wifi 7 network (Ubiquiti U7 Pros) and operate in the 6GHz spectrum with 160MHz channels. I also have an older wireless network that runs on Google Nest routers.
When I upgraded to the 6.13.2 kernel from Arch Linux, my wireless suddenly stopped working. I looked at the kernel logs and saw these messages (wireless addresses changed to make clearer the different points):

Then IWD seems to have stopped attempting to associate for some time. My wireless interface showed link down, and I had no IP address. I attempted to associate to my older Google Nest network, but that also failed with the same behavior (thus showing the problem not to be Wifi 7 or Ubiquiti-specific).
I compiled up the mainline 6.13.2 kernel myself and saw the same behavior.
I then went back to the Arch 6.13.1 kernel, and the system operated perfectly fine as expected.
I bisected the break to this commit:

I attempted to revert this commit on top of 6.13.2, but there are other commits that modify these files, so it can not be reverted by itself. I looked at the commit, and a thought occurred to me that maybe wpa_supplicant might still function even though iwd did not.
I set up wpa_supplicant, and found that I was able to associate and pass network traffic. HOWEVER, when running a simple iperf3 test, saw very slow speeds while associated (about 10 times slower than seen with the 6.13.1 kernel). Thus, I think this is quite clearly a regression. My guess is that this wireless adapter is new enough that many people have yet to hit this.
Here are the details of the card: # dmesg | grep mt79: [ 12.617246] mt7925e 0000:01:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002) [ 12.622426] mt7925e 0000:01:00.0: ASIC revision: 79250000 [ 12.698681] mt7925e 0000:01:00.0: HW/SW Version: 0x8a108a10, Build Time: 20241104132949a [ 13.047884] mt7925e 0000:01:00.0: WM Firmware Version: ____000000, Build Time: 20241104133053

At this point my suggestion is that the v6.13.2 mt7925 changes should be reverted from the stable series for now, unless a fix can be quickly found. I have not yet tested 6.14-rc2, but would be willing to do so if it would be helpful.
Note: I am not subscribed to any of these lists, so please CC me if you want to contact me about this.

Hi Caleb,
Here are some patches are currently ongoing. Could you please apply these patches and try again?
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wirel...
Thanks~
Best Regards, Yen.
Hi Yen,
Thank you for getting back to me so quickly. However, I can't apply these patches to the v6.13.2 kernel. It appears that these apply cleanly to the v6.14-rc2 kernel, but the stable series seems to have only a subset of those changes. Is this what you expect, or am I missing something?
Respectfully submitted, Caleb Jorden cjorden@gmail.com
Hello again,
I decided to test the 6.14-rc2 kernel, and found it is broken just like the 6.13.2 kernel.
I then tried applying the patches found here:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wirel...
as suggested by Yen on top of 6.14-rc2, and everything seems to be working normally again! Speed seems to be very good (possibly better than even 6.13.1).
So, I would suggest the 6.14 series pick up that set of patches.
For the stable 6.13.y series, it appears that either these patches (and any necessary predecessors) need to be applied, or the changes for the mt7925 driver introduced by 6.13.2 need to be reverted in order to fix the currently-broken state.
If there is any further checking I can do that would be helpful, please let me know.
Warm Regards, Caleb Jorden cjorden@gmail.com
Hi Caleb,
Thanks for your test.
I agree that these patches should go into 6.14 and be ported to 6.13 and 6.12.
Could you help me identify which patch can't be applied to 6.13.2? I think it is the first one.
Best Regards, Yen.
