Hello,

Tested-by: Mateusz Jończyk <mat.jonczyk@o2.pl>

Issues found:
- the WiFi signal sometimes is displayed as ~100%, even though the AP is far
away and the signal is weak. According to my notes, something like this I
have seen on some older stable kernels (6.1.68-rc1) and on Linus' kernels
since 6.7-rc3. I have never gotten around to reporting this seriously, just noticed
this again now that I use a more distant AP.

For example:

$ iw wlp2s0 station dump
Station 50:c7:bf:2c:a9:31 (on wlp2s0)
[...]
beacon loss:    0
beacon rx:    4418
rx drop misc:    7
signal:      0 [0, 0] dBm
signal avg:    -2 [-3, -2] dBm
beacon signal avg:    -68 dBm
[...]

On my laptop I use a Realtek RTL8822BE, but it happened also on
a desktop computer with a PCI-Express Intel WiFi card:
Intel Corporation Wireless 7265 [8086:095a] (rev 61)

Logs from this one-liner:

while true; do date; iw wlp2s0 station dump; sleep 5; done

can be found at the bottom of this mail.

Tested on a HP 17-by0001nw laptop with an Intel Kaby Lake CPU and Ubuntu 20.04.

Stack:
- amd64,
- ext4 on top of LVM on top of LUKS on top of mdraid on top of
NVMe and SATA drives (the SATA drive in a write-mostly mode).

Tested (lightly):
- suspend to RAM,
- suspend to disk,
- virtual machines in QEMU (both i386 and amd64 guests),

- GPU (Intel HD Graphics 620, tested with an Unigine benchmark)
- WiFi (Realtek RTL8822BE),
- PCI soundcard (Intel HD Audio),
- webcam.

Greetings,

Mateusz
