Nothing that jumps out at me. Here's the entries from the journal from the last time I restarted the wifi to a point where the connection is lost: [snip'
Speaking as a fedora user, this has happened to me a number of times over the years. I've posted to this and other forums each time and get the same kind of responses of tweaking this or that (particularly the MTU). And... every time, it either didn't work or worked poorly. I am convinced it was the driver. What I ended up doing was go out and buy a slightly-out-of-date external usb wifi adapter. It has to be an older one -- not a brand new one or you run into the same problem of having a too-new adapter. Then, I use the thing for a couple of months (or until the next version comes out), and viola! It's magically working again. The laptop I'm using is a case in point. I bought it in the early days of Fedora 22. Nothing I tried would make the damn thing go for more than about 5 minutes. In installed Mint, and it didn't work. I installed Manjaro, and it didn't work. So, I plugged in my three-year-old usb wifi adapter and chugged along with that until Fedora 23 came out. And, voila, it worked perfectly. Things aren't nearly as bad as they were 20 years ago, when you had to go out and buy an obsolete machine or else spend a month trying to make the hardware work. But occasionally, the drivers are still not quite "there" yet on brand new boxes. billo -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/admin/lists/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
