I’ve had LMDE6 installed since it’s release day and everything has been fine. For the past week it’s been dropping my wifi card randomly. It is not recognized by rfkill nor lspci after it happens. Only reboot helps.
Does anyone know why it might happen? Kernel is 6.1.0-21-amd64 but I don’t know has the kernel been updated recently.
I had some hard to track down intermittent network issues when I upgraded from LMDE5 to LMDE6 - the solution was to get a newer kernel from backports - its fairly painless…
Which brand is it? I have an HP and have a similar problem, adding “pcie_aspm.policy=performance” to the kernel parameters mostly mitigates it but on Fedora like distros it may still have errors I don’t know how to fix.
How recent is your computer? Debian based distros, due to their focus on stability tend to have quite old packages, namely kernels
OP said it’s been running fine until recently, so I doubt it’s the kernel.
I’d start with checking logs with journalctl as a privileged user. If the device disappears, there should be logs about it. Maybe that will point the way.
Let me guess, Realtek
Edit:
What chipset?
