Arch Linux

Description:
My system has an issue with a NETGEAR A6210 USB Wifi adapter. After updating to kernel version 6.1.2, my system becomes completely unresponsive when NetworkManager made a successful connection to any Wifi connection via the adapter. I've tested it on 4 different networks, both 2.4 and 5 GHz. The system becomes unresponsive if you connect to Wifi while the system is running, or soon after boot if NetworkManager auto-connects to a network entry.

I believe this to be a kernel issue after downgrading the kernel seemed to fix the issue completely. Rolling back NetworkManager to 1.40.4 had no effect while on the new kernel, but rolling back the kernel to my old version (6.0.12) fixed the issue.

My journal logs end quite abruptly in both reproduction scenarios, but maybe you will see something I can't?

Additional info:
* package version(s)
* linux 6.1.2.arch1-1
* config and/or log files etc.
* journal.txt -> Connecting to a network using nmcli while the system is running.
* journal-new.txt -> After a cold boot and letting the system sit for about 30 seconds.
* link to upstream bug report, if any
* N/A

Steps to reproduce:

While the system is running:
1. Make sure kernel is on version 6.1.2
2. Connect to any network with the NETGEAR adapter with NetworkManager
3. System becomes unresponsive

On cold boot:
1. Update kernel to version 6.1.2 from an older version (my old version was 6.0.12)
2. Make sure you have an active internet connection with NetworkManager via the NETGEAR adapter
3. Reboot
4. System becomes unresponsive after NetworkManager connects to that Wifi connection you had before with the adapter
