Hi,
After a recent update to the latest kernel, I'm having troubles with a custom wifi driver [1], packaged using latest git into GURU.
The laptop does recognize and connect to my wifi (that is, my iphone). But I cannot access internet and NetworkManager cannot be restarted or stopped (I have to force-shutdown the computer).
It may come from wpa_supplicant.
Reverting the kernel to previous version (6.1.60) fixes the issue.
Does anyone have any idea about this issue ? Googling only hints at issues with 6.6.66.
Also, how can I keep on using 6.1.60 ? I've kept the old kernel around but not sure how to downgrade (and if that's the best strategy).
Thanks,
Alexis
