[BUG]]wlan0 mysteriously goes down after sometime of doing a restart

stygian1337 · 2022-11-19 03:09:21

Hello, Friends.
I have both windows 10(UEFI) and ArchLinux in dual boot. Wifi works fine on windows, but when I use ArchLinux, it works for some time after booting and then goes down.
Some information for geeks:

Welcome to the forums.

Is fast start enabled in Windows? It apparently has a habit of re-enabling itself on update, so even if you think it is disabled, boot into Windows and check it still is.

If that's not it, post a complete journal which includes the issue. and

find /etc/systemd/system/ -name '*.service'

You cannot expect

sudo ifconfig wlan0 up

to work while you have NetworkManager managing wlan0.

Note that I think ifconfig is deprecated. (See https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … et-tools.)

I have fast boot/setup disabled in Windows.

Nevertheless, better re-check that. Windows re-enables it w/ updates.
See the 3rd link below.

Mate, I have separate ESP partitions for both Windows and Arch bootloaders, and I have fast boot disabled(double-checked).

seth · 2022-11-19 10:51:59

The partitioning doesn't matter and nb. that it's "fast-start" (need to fix my signature) - if you looked at your UEFI/BIOS - that's the wrong setting.

Either way and more crucially, we're still missing you enabled services, cause it sure sounds like you've at least NM and netctl going - what will not work and cause the described symptoms. Mate.

Probably not relevant to this issue but that is the wrong approach.
On UEFI systems you should have one ESP that's shared between all OS's.

Hey Slithery, can confirm about my setup here: three ESP(s), one on each separate drive (Arch: nVME - Debian: SSD - Windows: mecha)... Never had any problems at all.

so, now, it's just not showing my wifi interface.
I have tried removing my wifi driver and re-loading; following this: https://askubuntu.com/questions/770488/ … ror-rt3290
But, am still in vain.

Mate, am using grub(installed in arch /boot) and os-prober to manage operating systems and I have configured it in my bios settings.

Slithery · 2022-11-19 12:36:54

You have both the dhcpcd and NetworkManager services enabled. They will be fighting each other for control of your network which is causing your issue. Pick the one that you want to use and disable the other one.

I never said that it would definately cause issues, just that multiple ESP's aren't recognised by the EFI formal specifications.
It might work OK on your current motherboard but on other systems it will fail to boot with that setup.

stygian1337 · 2022-11-19 13:26:51

Everyone, I appreciate your genuine effort. Actually, for some reason, wpa_supplicant wasn't working fine with my system I don't know why. So, Now, I am using iwd in the backend of NetworkManager. And now, everything is solid.

That doesn't matter - running multiple network managing services will result in connection instability.
You had NM and dhcpcd running (and tried netctl on top of that) - that it's not the immediate problem doesn't meant that it's not a problem.

stygian1337 · 2022-11-19 14:11:24

Yes, Mate, You are right. But, the core problem is with the firmware.

Could you please stop using the word 'Mate' when it isn't relevant as it's easily confused with the DE of the same name.
