Re: [SOLVED]WiFi repeatedly connecting and disconnecting after upgrade

Thank you very much for the solution.

I have exact same Wifi card.

Even I updated my system recently (after 4-5 months) and suddenly Wifi started acting. Would connect just for some seconds and disconnect.

Booted to Windows and Wifi had no issues.

Then I added following to /etc/modprobe.d/ath9k.conf

options ath9k btcoex_enable=1

Then ran:

rmmod ath9k
modprobe ath9k
systemctl restart iwd

And Wifi started working in Arch Linux too.

Looks like something changed in kernel or module

Anyway thanks again.
