[SOLVED] WIFI disconnecting issues iwlwifi + NetworkManager

Hi

I'm using NetworkManager, randomly my wifi stop working. When I try to disconnect and reconnect (to the same or different network) using KDE client I got error.
In  logs I can see

iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Not associated and the session protection is over already...

I've seen this thread https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=301428
But provided solution doesn't work form me
I've also tried solution 7.4.2 from arch wiki page https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Networ … ss#iwlwifi but problem haven't been solved

Re: [SOLVED] WIFI disconnecting issues iwlwifi + NetworkManager

Check for conflicting networking services with seth's handy one-liner:

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

Only NM should be enabled, wpa_supplicant & iwd will be called by NM and so should not be explicitly enabled.

Re: [SOLVED] WIFI disconnecting issues iwlwifi + NetworkManager

Try disabling NM's MAC randomisation "feature". That can upset some routers.

Unrelated but

pulseaudio.socket                        | sockets.target.wants

https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/x8 … ire-pulse/

If it's not the MAC randomization, please post your complete system journal for the boot:

sudo journalctl -b | curl -F 'file=@-' 0x0.st

The isolated message there indicates "doesn't work" but nowhere near can tell "why"
