result of journalctl -u NetworkManager.service
SUMMARY
Using KDE Neon 5.27 on my Lenovo IdeaPad Pro 5 14APH8, I'm getting intermittent
drops in WIFI connection which didn't previously occur on my previous distro
(pop!OS).
Usually, websites will fail to load due to DNS failure, and NetworkManager will
update its state to "CONNECTED_SITE" within a few minutes (which triggers the
plasmoid to show the little ! symbol) and eventually recovers. I can action a
recovery faster by manually restarting the system daemon or toggling airplane
mode with Fn + F8.
I've scoured the available logs in journalctl and nothing seems to happen to
"cause" the dropped network connectivity, just that eventually the daemon
realizes it's disconnected and eventually sorts itself out.
I've tried disabling ipv6, clearing the network keychain password in kwallet,
setting the wifi security to "unencrypted" in wifi settings, and disabling
power management in NetworkManager. Nothing seems to help unfortunately.
As said before, this wasn't an issue with Pop!OS which is also Ubuntu-based,
but I know it's significantly modified compared to that of Neon, so I'm hoping
asking here might get me somewhere.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Connect to Wifi
2. Wait/browse internet as usual
OBSERVED RESULT
"Limited Connectivity" notification eventually appears until I toggle airplane
mode or restart NetworkManager daemon
EXPECTED RESULT
Network remains connected
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
uname -a result: Linux tom-83am 6.5.0-14-generic #14~22.04.1-Ubuntu SMP
PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Nov 20 18:15:30 UTC 2 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
from lspci:
Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. Device 0616
I believe that's an MT7925 wifi card, if duckduckgo serves me well.
