Hey Benny!

 BP> check kernel 6.x.x ?

6.0.0 but not long enough to know if the inhouse driver is working.  It looks to be but the issues don't show up until the network(s) have been running for awhile.  I lost my boot penguins so I decided to stick with 5.19.x kernels until I figure the 6.x.x kernel out.  It is different.

 BP> should imho be pretty simple and working, but does not

Yep.  Been there, done it ... or not as the case might be.  pci modems come to mind.

 BP> today its wifi 6 and 6e

So I've heard.  I doubt it's any better than what we've got, or at least won't give nearly the coverage.  We're about distance as well as speed and wifi 6 can't handle the stability required.

 BP> mesh is not allways good

Who would know?  I'm the only one in these parts who can get it working but not with so-called smart devices.  If you know better I'd love to hear about it.

 BP> it will be in phpsysinfo if you still have it

Huh?  I never knew I had it.  Mind you the ole grey matter just ain't what she used to be but I am sure I don't have it now.  I never did php anything, ever ... that I remember that is.

Anyhow I have one usb gigabit that is realtek.  I refuse to replace one bad realtek with another, good or bad.  It will have to be some other chipset please, preferably one that plays nicely with whatever kv I choose to run.

Life is good,
Maurice
