Description Jan Breig 2023-03-22 08:05:48 UTC
On high network traffic rates e.g. when downloading something, the upload over wifi suddenly stops working. This can be seen especially with udp connections. In voice chats, I can still hear others but they can't hear me. TCP does (obviously) not work at all with no upload.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use kernel 6.2.x
2. Ping some host in the local network over wifi
3. Download a large file
Actual Results:  
After a short time, the ping command hangs

Expected Results:  
The ping command should continue to send packages

I applied this patch and it seems to fix the issue:

This is queued up for the next release of gentoo-sources (and linux 6.2.8) (and other kernels who use genpatches) .  Thanks for reporting
