1. Please describe the problem:
After updating Fedora 43 to Linux Kernel 6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64, I've been experiencing intermittent network disconnects with my laptops RTL8723DE WiFi hardware every 3 to 5 minutes.

After some extensive research, I've discovered all of these disconnects and reconnects might be traced to either linux-firmware and/or the rtw88 driver and that other Linux distros is also affected by this as well.

I've tried disabling NetworkManager's power saving, reinstalling the rtw88 driver, restarting the rtw88 driver and several other things to no anvil.


2. What is the Version-Release number of the kernel:
6.18.8-200.fc43.x86_64


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 :
I think the first Kernel version this rather annoying problem began in was kernel-6.18.1-200.fc43.


4. Can you reproduce this issue? If so, please provide the steps to reproduce
   the issue below:
This wifi disconnect/reconnect issue can be reproduced by keeping my RTL8723DE active.


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``:


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.


Reproducible: Always
