Rtl8821au dongle not registering

Been reading lots about the dongle.

0bda:c111

Installed 8821au-dkms for mx linux, kernel 6.1 and the same for antix26 k6.6 k5.10

I had working briefly in antix k6.6 then on reboot it wont wake up.

Did gather some modinfo 8821au about it.

Tried dongle on sparky 2026.03 k6.19, xubuntu 24, neither wakes it.

Is my dongle a dud? Asked ai, read lots.

Did usb-modeset on it earlier in the week. It doesnt as USB storage.

ET-3850 network dead after firmware update

All went well ... until restart. Resetting network does not work, no longer able to even enter wifi setup.

How are Epson allowed to do this? I've seen other threads mentioning dead network.

Contact Epson support. Why? will they offer the old firmware back? Is this programmed obsolescence?

PM phuckery again, now blocked from calls and agent

Ive have ongoing complaints reported and escalated, CCTS. Now after 12months i get a voice mail from PM specialist to call their escalation agent back.

But guess what?

You got it! PM blocked me from calling out, and checking my vmail.

But wait there's more, PM blocked me from contacting an agent.

How does one resolve issues during such phuckery?
