Authentication Failure when target WiFi's signal strength is below 40% (rtw89)
Hello, dear Realtek engineers:
I am a user of the RTL8852AE card with the rtw89 kernel driver's unofficial DKMS module AUR package (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/rtw89-dkms-git/). I have experienced some issue of authentication when I tried to connect to a 5Ghz WiFi when its signal strength is below 40%. The specific problem is even when I give the correct password, the system keeps asking me to provide the password again (using KDE's NetworkManager, unsure if it is related and have not yet tested with other wifi managers). This issue solves when I move closer to my router to gain more signal strength.
Here is the output of dmesg:

Hi,
We have fixed similar symptom by v6 submitted on end of August, but the last update of DKMS module you took is 2021-07-08 06:29. So, I suggest to try the novel version of rtw89, and use the novel firmware as well. Please reference to [1]
