Devuan 5 Daedalus soft lockup caused by RTL8192CU kworker timeout

wavin everyone, I'm having a soft lockup issue related to my wifi adapter, it's the TP-link from years back that uses the realtek 8192CU chip. within an hour, things lock up and the system becomes unresponsive or extremely slow to respond.

are there any fixes for this?

By chance, are you running kernel 6.1.0-15? Then try 6.1.0-13.

Sound very much like a network issue I recently had. Maybe try 6.1.0-16, that fixed it for me.

Just update your system

sudo apt update

sudo apt upgrade

P.S.

Reboot is required.
