Packets are leaking when connecting to wifi.

NoodlesWeAte · 2022-03-24 16:08:56

I can't use internet with my current arch setup.
I had a custom install arch, but then I reinstalled it with the archinstall script and tried several times.
I am using both iwd and networkmanager, and if I stop any one of them, wifi doesn't even work.
I am not posting any output of any commands, as I don't know where to even begin with.

I can't upgrade any packages, nor update my database. As the upgrade takes too long that yay or pacman thinks I lost the connection.

The output of

journalctl -u iwd.service -u NetworkManager.service -u dhcpcd.service -u systemd-networkd.service | xclip -sel clip

What do you mean by 'leaking'???
Don't post partial logs, we need to see the whole thing.

But I suspect that your issue is that you have multiple services fighting over your connection.
Post the output of...

find /etc/systemd -type l -exec test -f {} \; -print | awk -F'/' '{ printf ("%-40s | %s\n", $(NF-0), $(NF-1)) }' | sort -f

By leaking I mean, my laptop is leaking in the range of 33-100% packets sometimes,
I mean my internet works, sometimes goes upto 3mbps, but then drops to 12kbps and then after five mins or so goes back up again and then down.

Packages are "lost", not leaking - and the reason is, as Slithery spotted in your journal and confirmed by the list of services, that you're running dhcpcd, NM, systemd-networkd concurrently, causing

Pick one, disable the others.

I disabled the all and left only NM, but the problem is still there. I lose connection frequently.

"Generally" or only for pacman downloads? If only for pacman downloads make sure your mirrors are set up correctly: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Mirror … ng_mirrors

If generally still, post a full

sudo journalctl -b

NoodlesWeAte · 2022-03-25 10:54:07

No, it is systemwide.
I mean the connection is still there and it is connected too, but internet goes up and down, sometimes to kbps.
I have changed the mirrors using reflector but no luck either.

An ath9k chip, they have a known regression in the current kernels, iirc, 5.16.14 is the last one not including said regression, alternatively check the upstream patches that are discussed to maybe fix this: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215703

if you want to downgrade the kernel, refer to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_Linux_Archive

Yeah, this thread describes my problem exactly. I will downgrade the kernel till there is a mainline patch fixing it.
