Summary0009042: RTL8852BE PCIe 802.11ax issue
Description

The /lib/modules/6.11.2-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/realtek/rtw89/rtw89_8852be.ko.xz driver is not working correctly in kernel version 6.11.2.
What doesn't work: After starting the system, the Internet connection disappears after 1-2 minutes, but the wifi connection and visibility on the local network remain. Websites on the Internet take an awfully long time to load, and the ping command only works after a long period of time after launch and with huge packet losses.

Has it been considered to reporting to driver maintainer? Probably: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89

Initially, I immediately wanted to write to the developer, but I came across this answer in his repository: https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/issues/370
so I decided to write here.

Then you probably need to find the new maintainer of the driver or hope that one of the next kernel updates are fixing your issue because the Kali team mentioned it a few times in this bug tracker that they are a small team and don't maintain or develop the kernel or it's driver on their own and fixes needs to be reported to the driver or kernel developers to get them fixed in Kali.

Also noticed in https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89/blob/main/README.md:

When you have problems where the driver builds and loads correctly, but fails to work, a GitHub issue is NOT the best place to report it. I have no idea of the internal workings of any of the chips, and the Realtek engineers who do will not read these issues. To reach them, send E-mail to [email protected]. Include a detailed description of any messages in the kernel logs and any steps that you have taken to analyze or fix the problem. If your description is not complete, you are unlikely to get any satisfaction. One other thing - your mail MUST be plain test. HTML mail is rejected.
