FYI the legacy nvidia-470.223.02 drivers work fine with the new 6.7-rc4 kernel, without the need to patch them!

6.6.5 doesn't work so well here. System shutdown hangs in '/etc/rc.d/rc.inet1 stop', in gateway_down (/sbin/ip -4 route show). REISUB needed.

I don't shut down much, so I noticed the problem first when hibernating did not work, 2 user space processes refused to freeze: NetworkManager and ntpd.

It worked ok after I downgraded net/wireless/core.h and net/wireless/nl80211.c to the versions from kernel 6.6.4.

(I have RTL8723BE Wireless Network Adapter, using rtl8723be module.)

The offending commit:
Code:
commit 4a7e92551618f3737b305f62451353ee05662f57
Author: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 6 23:17:16 2023 +0100

    wifi: cfg80211: fix CQM for non-range use
    
    commit 7e7efdda6adb385fbdfd6f819d76bc68c923c394 upstream.
    
    My prior race fix here broke CQM when ranges aren't used, as
    the reporting worker now requires the cqm_config to be set in
    the wdev, but isn't set when there's no range configured.
    
    Rather than continuing to special-case the range version, set
    the cqm_config always and configure accordingly, also tracking
    if range was used or not to be able to clear the configuration
    appropriately with the same API, which was actually not right
    if both were implemented by a driver for some reason, as is
    the case with mac80211 (though there the implementations are
    equivalent so it doesn't matter.)
    
    Also, the original multiple-RSSI commit lost checking for the
    callback, so might have potentially crashed if a driver had
    neither implementation, and userspace tried to use it despite
    not being advertised as supported.
Maybe 6.1.66 exhibits the same problem, as it also includes this commit.

On all-intel laptop, I don't see this issue either with 6.1.66 or 6.6.5 but I will do some more testing.

Within eight hours of installing 6.6.5, this box spontaneously rebooted itself three times. Sometimes I think it is my wireless keyboard as it seems to happen when scrolling down a web page using either the down arrow or the touch pad.
Regardless, it hasn't happened with 6.7-rc2, which has been rock solid. OTOH, 6.7-rc3 was a dog and I didn't build 6.7-rc4. Maybe I'll try 6.7-rc5, when it is released later today.
