[SOLVED] iwctl not powered on after launch

Hi Arch Forum,

I've been using Arch for a long time now, its been very well and stable, something that I have noticed that is not critical, but perhaps something that can be fixed is the iwd behaviour.

My setup consists of: iwd (wireless) and systemd-resolved (DNS resolution). I do not use network manager.

I get this issue intermittently when launching my laptop, the iwd WiFi connection is not connected. All I have to do is to run `sudo iwctl adapter phy0 set-property Powered on` for my wifi to be back. It doesn't happen every time, but every now and then.

The next time it happens, what sort of logs can I provide that can be more helpful in resolving the issue?

Thanks

Re: [SOLVED] iwctl not powered on after launch

The full journal from a brief boot would probably be appropriate. Also confirm that Windows' "fast start" is disabled if you're multibooting.

What is your hardware & driver?

lspci -knn -d ::02xx

Hello Head on Stick, Apologies for late response. I have not encountered this issue at all after posting. Perhaps it was the issue with dual booting, but I don't do that anymore so I think its OK now.

Here is my specs for reference:

sudo sudo lspci -knn -d ::02xx
[sudo: authenticate] Password: 
03:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8211/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 15)
        DeviceName: Realtek RTL8111E Ethernet LOM
        Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:390b]
        Kernel driver in use: r8169
        Kernel modules: r8169

        Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi

I am marking this as Solved.
