I am also having this problem. Happens with my two USB-A cards on Framework 13 intel 11th gen, Linux Mint. I have to unplug and plug them again to get them to work. I have tried all the previous steps except for the RTC one, and none have fixed the problem. I even have TLP installed, and I messed with some of the settings, and nothing changed. Even verified all my BIOS settings made sense. Even updated my bios and nothing changed.
