Hi all,

I write to start a discussion about the state of the mwifiex driver.
For over two years many other and me wait that the driver finally becomes
"stable". However, even with kernel 4.14.2 it still fails after some
minutes, or latest after some hours. With various stray errors in the system
log:

As workaround you can disable powersave for wifi (using iw command)
and test it should resolve an issue (at least it fixes for me).

 13:28:18 up  1:52,

Thanks, so far so good. Are you on a Surface, too?
Does this also make mwifiex survive a suspend/resume cycle?
(will try later, when I got work done ;-)

Greetings,
	Rene
