Fedora 41 | Asus pce-ac88 wifi card driver problems

Hi!

So ive been having this problem for a little while now after daily driving fedora for some time. Basically after a random amount of time of using my computer the wifi card will suddenly stop working. I’ve been going back and forth with chatgpt for a while, but that didnt lead anywhere as well.

When i run dmesg | grep brcmfmac i get the following output:

[ 9.884406] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
[ 9.884436] brcmfmac 0000:08:00.0: enabling device (0000 → 0002)

[ 10.895403] brcmfmac 0000:08:00.0 wlp8s0: renamed from wlan0

I see that there is some problem with the drivers, but i can also be completely wrong here. Any help would be appreciated!

(also this is the first time posting on these forums so sorry if the formatting is wrong)

Thanks in advance!

Those “errors” refer to pcie firmware blobs that don’t apply to USB. https://github.com/morrownr/USB-WiFi has advice on choosing USB WiFi chipsets and drivers.

You can search for your device on the LHDB to see if others have it working in linux. There are sometimes user comments that provide helpful information.

So what you’re saying is that my pcie WiFi card just isn’t well supported on Linux and i should just get a usb dongle instead?
