Description Dmitri A. Sergatskov 2022-06-18 14:41:08 UTC
1. Please describe the problem:
After update to kernel 5.18.5-200.fc36 RTL8188EUS WiFi adapter does not work
Driver is loaded, but network connection does not get established.

2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
5.18.5-200.fc36

3. Did it work previously in Fedora? If so, what kernel version did the issue
   *first* appear?  Old kernels are available for download at
   https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=8 :

It works fine with 5.17.13-300.fc36.x86_64 :
lsusb

Bus 003 Device 003: ID 0bda:8179 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8188EUS 802.11n Wireless Network Adapter

4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:

100%

5. Does this problem occur with the latest Rawhide kernel? To install the
   Rawhide kernel, run ``sudo dnf install fedora-repos-rawhide`` followed by
   ``sudo dnf update --enablerepo=rawhide kernel``:
No

6. Are you running any modules that not shipped with directly Fedora's kernel?:
No

7. Please attach the kernel logs. You can get the complete kernel log
   for a boot with ``journalctl --no-hostname -k > dmesg.txt``. If the
   issue occurred on a previous boot, use the journalctl ``-b`` flag.

The problem appears to be this:
