Description Ulrich Windl 2024-05-02 00:25:49 UTC

In Leap 15.5 using kernel 5.14.21-150500.55.59-default (or previous) and rtl8812au-kmp-default-5.13.6+git20220905.a8450b0_k5.14.21_150500.53-lp155.1.37.x86_64 I see frequent messages regarding the address, like these:
May 02 01:08:30 i7g4x4a.site kernel: rtl8812au 3-4:1.0 wlan0: Current addr:  MY MA CA DD RE SS 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
May 02 01:08:30 i7g4x4a.site kernel: rtl8812au 3-4:1.0 wlan0: Expected addr: 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

(where MY MA CA DD RE SS is the MAC address of my WLAN adapter)
This triggers:

The WLAN adapter seems to work OK, but each of those messages creates a call stack in the journal, so that should go away.

Device info (it seems TP-LINK does not like to set the serial number):

Let me add to this bug (it should be a different one):
When I tried to get a more recent driver via https://software.opensuse.org/ymp/hardware/15.5/rtl8812au.ymp it failed.
It tried to add several SLE repositories (that require a registration code AFAIK), and when I skipped those, installation failed.

Comment 3 Takashi Iwai 2024-05-14 12:35:07 UTC

Try to install rtl8812au and rtl8812au-kmp-default packages directly from OBS hardware repo, i.e. just downloading two files from
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/hardware/15.5/x86_64/
and install them via zypper install.

If it works, we can push it for Leap 15.5 update.

For the issues with software.opensuse.org, please open another bug report.  It's irrelevant with the kernel warning you reported originally.

It seems the newer driver isn't better:

Comment 6 Takashi Iwai 2024-05-17 15:11:20 UTC

It's likely the invalid memcpy of net_device->dev_addr field in the driver.

Could you check the package in OBS home:tiwai:branches:hardware/rtl8812au instead?

Comment 7 Ulrich Windl 2024-05-24 21:21:43 UTC

(In reply to Takashi Iwai from comment #6)
> Could you check the package in OBS home:tiwai:branches:hardware/rtl8812au
> instead?

So I tried https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:tiwai:branches:hardware/rtl8812au (rtl8812au-5.13.6+git20240320.8be3a1d-lp155.63.1.x86_64.rpm).

Comment 8 Ulrich Windl 2024-05-24 21:40:31 UTC

Actually the ymp file installed the older rtl8812au-5.13.6+git20240320.8be3a1d-lp155.59.1.x86_64 version.
That driver still reports (on unload):

Comment 10 Ulrich Windl 2024-05-24 22:03:54 UTC

That driver could not establish a connection, so I went back to the standard driver.

However I don't understand what the kernel warning is about. Considering these lines it's not surprising that wlan0 has an address then:

Comment 11 Stephan Hemeier 2024-05-25 06:46:35 UTC

Maybe rtw88 as driver is a solution?
