Michael Kiermaier, the way to make the issue go away permanent is to determine why disabling power management is necessary in the first place.
Hence, to keep this relevant to upstream, one would want to periodically check for, and test the latest mainline kernel (now 4.10) as it is released. Could you please advise? ** Description changed: On my Lenovo X61s, WLAN randomly stops working, typically after a few hours of running time. I don't know any remedy but to reboot. This behavior started maybe 2 or 3 months ago. My maching is usually kept up to date, so the problem might be caused by some kernel update at that time.
