Hello thedoctar. As mentioned, I had 22.10 installed with latest repo-provided firmware. That's pretty recent isn't it?
I also tried a surgical downgrade of the ath10k firmware to a version corresponding to 20 LTS. Crashes continued. I tried removing the firmware6.bin file which forced "API5" mode. Crashes continued. Then I completely reinstalled 20 LTS, refusing the non-security upgrades. Crashes go on. This seems like quite a lot of software permutations over quite a time period - is there reason to think that the very latest firmware update will have magically fixed something people have been complaining about on various other distros for 7 years? What I don't get is that I had zero problems with this same laptop under Ubuntu 18 for 3 years. That suggests a regression does it not? - or could the wifi card be physically failing? I'm reluctant to junk it because of a problem that has been so widely reported as a software bug. Very frustrating. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1882968 Title: ath10k_pci failed to wake target for write32 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Expired Bug description: Wifi card stopped working.
