USB WLAN not working: rtw_8822bu failed to get tx report from firmware

[MichaelAnders]

Qubes OS release

Qubes OS 4.2

Brief summary

Qubes OS 4.2.4, kernel 6.12.47-1.fc37

Issue: tp-link AC1300 Archer T3U Plus (lsusb -> 2357:0138 TP-Link 802.11ac NIC) when attached to Fedora 41 XFCE qube throws the error message "rtw_8822bu failed to get tx report from firmware".

Steps to reproduce

1. Attached the USB device and assign it to a sys-net qubes
2. Connect to a Wifi network

Expected behavior

Network connection works

Actual behavior

Check dmesg in sys-net qube, shows "rtw_8822bu failed to get tx report from firmware" after a short time

Additional information

Solution that worked for me: Executing https://github.com/morrownr/88x2bu-20210702 as described in the Fedora template used by the sys qube.

Suggestion: Apply this patch to Qubes Fedora Template 41 and deliver it to users.
