[SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

Hi.
Laptop: Lenovo B590
Wifi chip: BCM4313 (rev 01)
Kernel driver: bcma-pci-bridge

I can connect to wifi properly, can ping google.com and everything is fine,
but when I download a large package (e.g firefox, approximately 300Mb with depencies) it downloads a few parts, then wifi breaks. "Breaks" means no more "ping google.com" (Temporary failure in name resolution), no more firefox downloading. So if you guys know anything about that, let me know. Ask for any logs.
Dmesg: Clbin

Thanks in advance!

So, how are you managing your network?

Using netctl-auto. I have a simple profile. I may post it if you need.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

So what is printed to the journal when it drops?

Output using wpa_supplicant (just wanted to test it): https://clbin.com/JdslN

Let me drop it and I'll tell you.. You mean journalctl, right?

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

Okay it managed to download firefox o_O
Believe it or not, I can't break it at the moment.
I'm going to send the whole journalctl then?

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

No, when it breaks, you paste the journal entry for your netctl instance, not the whole journal.

I am sorry I am a bit confused. What command do I execute?

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

1. This isn't failbook: don't keep bumping the thread every time a new thought pops into your head. There is an edit button. Use it; judiciously.

2. journalctl -xn Read the systemd wiki page for filtering output.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

journalctl _PID=486 may provide more information about why it stopped at 22:20:35

You could also try another network manager, to determine if the issue is with netctl.

No, nothing interesting in _PID=486

As far as I've noticed, NetworkManager (chosen as an alternative) provides a much faster WIFI connection. Will test more.

Re: [SOLVED] Wifi connection drops out

After some time, NetworkManager also loses connection. The step you have described, unfortunately, had no effect
