Issue 2 - Downgrade, cannot connect
In an attempt to fix the kernel 6.8 issue, I downgraded back to 6.6. I updated the os (apt update && apt upagrade -y) and it broke the wifi. I assumed that it had overwritten or remove something that the driver required. However, after unloading, re-building from main, and re-installing - I can not longer connect to wifi. The driver works in that it can enumerate wireless access points, but cannot connect/authenticate to them for some reason.
System:
