Package: firmware-realtek Version: 20250410-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, My system has been upgraded to trixie (arch armhf/raspberrypi). Before upgrading to trixie, the wlan had no issue using an usb-key based on chip RTL8188EU. It worked as expected on "bullseye" and "bookworm". After upgrading to trixie, the wlan connects properly on startup, but it stops working after 1 or 2 hours or even after few minutes. The device status becomes DOWN, and the only way to make it working again is to reboot the system or unplug/plug manually the usb-key. Finally to fix the issue I had to copy the old firmware file "rtl8188eufw.bin" from the "bookworm" package, and then override the file installed by the "trixie" package. It seems the "trixie" package provides a new revision for this firmware, but it doesn't work properly and make the device unstable. I suggest to revert the firmware upgrade (rtl8188eufw.bin) to the previous revision provided in "bookworm" (which is the same revision as "bullseye" and old debians from 2013). Best regards -- System Information: Debian Release: trixie Architecture: armv7l Kernel: Linux 6.18.34+rpt-rpi-v7 (SMP Raspbian 1:6.18.34-1+rpt1 (2026-06-09) armv7l GNU/Linux) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled
