Thank you both for replying quickly.
Michael, the driver does not seem to differ and nothing has changed in my configuration. rtl8723bu is not, to my knowledge, run in AP mode. I have blacklisted rtl8xxu. Also, I use NetworkManager.
Nikos, thanks for the link ! Updating to 6.1.67 solved my issue.
The update seems to have been made very recently, so thanks to the gentoo dev too.
Best,
