WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

Hi, I'm encountering annoying WIFI random disconnections on my Arch with Gnome 3 from a while (even the same problem when I used Ubuntu with gnome also).

So, I tried and found many solutions/articles but I dunno what is my exact problem and I wanna a help from experts to figure out the root cause of those random disconnections.

My kernel : 5.10.13-arch1-1

Here is the exact model of my wireless card obtained with "lspci -k"

06:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation Wireless 3160 (rev 83) Subsystem: Intel Corporation Dual Band Wireless AC 3160 Kernel driver in use: iwlwifi Kernel modules: iwlwifi

I found that link if it could help : https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/use … rs/iwlwifi

and found that for mine (3160) in that link ?


Those devices will not be supported by the newest firmware versions: the
last firmware that was released for 3160, 7260 and 7265 is -17.ucode.
Bug fixes will be ported to -17.ucode. 7265D, 3165 and 3168's latest
firmware version is -29.ucode. In order to determine if your 7265 device
is a 'D' version, you can check the dmesg output:


As you may already noticed the line "wlp6s0: deauthenticating from c8:94:bb:36:0e:ac by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)" indicating deauthentication, and i found that link containing the error code explanation https://aboutcher.co.uk/2012/07/linux-w … son-codes/

The access point went offline deauthenticating the client.

found
those solutions on wiki : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … ctions(but

Please, I've already tried and done many searches for months to no avail.

Thanks!

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

Actually just remove that wall of text and post the output of "sudo journalctl -b", not some random greps.
Also use the tip in the first link of my signature, rather than a unreadable no-newline mess.

Random guess based on the context: Disable https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ne … domization

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

Those logs in usually don't contain really private information, though xdman.desktop is very talky…
There'e only NM & wpa_supplicant, no conflicting services,

1. Did you try to disable the MAC randomization?
If yes,
2. take the vmware bridge of the device (basically try whether you can reproduce this w/o vmware)

MN wanted to ask for the wifi password, but could not (pre-session, GDM, no polkit agent)

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

For MAC randomization, there is no file under /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/. Should I create It ?

=> Is this journal supposed to have covered a disconnection? How do you determine those?

Reply : yes it covered a disconnection.

How do you determine those?

Reply: what do you mean ?

take the vmware bridge of the device

Reply : how can achieve that and why?

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

You can use quote tags, https://bbs.archlinux.org/help.php#bbcode

[qutoe]Should I create It ?[/qutoe]
"Obviously"

what do you mean?

How do you notice that the wifi disconnects? What's the output of "ip a; ip r" when this happens?

how can achieve that and why?

Simply don't use vmware for a trial period.

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

How do you notice that the wifi disconnects? What's the output of "ip a; ip r" when this happens?

I notice when WiFi icon in above gnome panel disappear or become green, then i ping an address such 1.1.1.1 to test connectivity until it came back.

Simply don't use vmware for a trial period.

Ok, I won't use vmware those days to test if it causes the problem, but should run any command to guarantee that there is no service associated to it running ?


But, what about mac randomization, should i create that file ? (I told you that the directory doesn't contain any file)

That's not a very good test to check the wifi status, your ISP could take a nap.

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

For the mac random, i did it, but you haven't responded me for what i wrote about vmware

That's not a very good test to check the wifi status, your ISP could take a nap.

what's the best way then ?

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

Check the output of "ip a; ip r", it'll tell you whetehr you've route, lease, carrier and the NIC is up.

About vmware, see above - you don't want the vmware bridge in "ip a".

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

vmware adds /etc/xdg/autostart/vmware-user.desktop, shadow that and hide it, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XDG_Autostart
Also some systemd services that you should probably not have enabled.

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

In both logs you run wireshark and then later lose the beacon and cannot recover from that (you do actually associate but are immediately cut again)
The arch log has several successful connections previous to the wireshark invocation (mostly from sleep/resume)

=> is wireshark the trigger for this?

Re: WIFI keeps disconnecting in intel wifi card

yeah, i opened wireshark today but i dunno if he is the cause of that disconnecting

So, i will not use it anymore and if the problem will happen again i'll upload the log.
