Wi-Fi always stops working until laptop is restarted

Hi,

about 2 days ago my laptop started having Wi-Fi issues - after some time (1 minute, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, depends) I get disconnected me from my WLAN and it refuses to start working again. After restarting, the Wi-Fi icon doesn't even show up - the only solution is turning the laptop off and waiting for some time, but after a while - here we go again...

After the Wi-Fi crashes I'll look over here:
- small icon on the top bar ("Wi-Fi networks"): "No networks" (loading...)
- settings: "No Wi-Fi adapter found (make sure you have a Wi-Fi adapter plugged and turned on)"

Re: Wi-Fi always stops working until laptop is restarted

There is a "Wireless" page on the ArchWiki with advice for various devices. The OP should probably read that. Or tell us what the hardware is.

… or post their system journal for an affected boot - "sudo journalctl -b -1 | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st" for the previous one.
