over my past 3 linux installations i've used both:
- rtw_8822ce (https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw88/, built locally)
- rtw88_8822ce (built in, still unsure what the difference is)
and experienced frequent to very occasional disconnections and general
instability
ive switched between wpa_supplicant and iwd, changed rtw88's options, etc.
through some messing around with options the only difference i've
noticed is that when disable_msi is used, the interface is online yet
never detects any wifi networks, my options are as follows
- no networks being detected:
- rtw_pci: `support_bf=Y disable_aspm=Y, disable_msi=Y`
- rtw_core: `support_bf=Y, disable_lps_deep=Y, debug_mask=0`
- networks working (but being disconnected frequently):
- rtw_pci: `support_bf=Y disable_aspm=Y, disable_msi=N`
- rtw_core: `support_bf=Y, disable_lps_deep=Y, debug_mask=0`
at different points i switched kernel versions between
- `6.8.5-301.fc40`
- `6.8.10-300.fc40`
- `6.8.11-300.fc40`
- whatever linux mint was using at the time (iirc 5.x)
using fedora40 workstation kde, linux mint, etc
here's some logs that might give more insight into what the issue is:

if it's at all important, my kernel params are here:
`ro rootflags=subvol=root noapic rhgb quiet`
(note: for some odd reason i have to use noapic otherwise my boot
screen will just be stuck on the HP logo)
ps: originally this was a windows desktop that i wiped to install
linux, ive heard its an issue with fastboot which i probably
originally had on before wiping my ssd
if you need any extra info i'm readily available in order to try and solve this,
thanks so much for your help.

Since your connections get lost after about 20 seconds, it's worth to give
a try to disable power save by
sudo iw wlan1 set power save off
