[Bug 1906600] Re: WiFi disconnects continually (goes "down" in NetworkManager)

2020-12-14 Thread Allan Yaklin
I have been running the mainline kernel since Saturday and have not seen
any of the network disconnect notifications or password prompts since. I
had been seeing several of them a day since the kernel update described
in my original comment, so it appears the problem has been fixed for me.

I'm having a similar errors, I think it has something to do with the
latest kernel updates. In my case, the kernel modules were updated on
Dec 1. From the apt history.log:

I didn't restart my computer at the time, but shut it down overnight and
restarted in the morning of December 2, and that's when I started having
very similar issues as described in the original submission. The biggest
difference is that the time period of WiFi network disconnects is longer
- normally it'll work for a half hour or more, but eventually I'll get
disconnected and prompted for a password on a network that I've been
connecting to for years.

Might have something to do with Realtek wireless adapters:

allan ~ $ lspci | grep -i WiFi

802.11b/g/n WiFi Adapter (rev 01)
