Dear all, I am having issues with my laptop wifi (Debian Bullseye). The connection comes and goes making using internet impossible.I assumed a firmware problem, so I tried several versions of the firmware-iwlwifi.deb package without improvements.Specifically I tried the versions 20190114, 20210315-3 and currently 20230210-5 from Bookworm. >From the /var/log/messages file I keep finding entries like Dec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.357125] wlp2s0: authenticate with 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2Dec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.360810] wlp2s0: send auth to 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (try 1/3)Dec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.364095] wlp2s0: authenticatedDec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.367660] wlp2s0: associate with 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (try 1/3)Dec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.377138] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=1)Dec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 kernel: [ 309.382335] wlp2s0: associatedDec 21 16:48:53 hellnote02 gnome-shell[1231]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point?Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.696611] wlp2s0: authenticate with b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.698907] wlp2s0: send auth to b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (try 1/3)Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.707314] wlp2s0: authenticatedDec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.711160] wlp2s0: associate with b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (try 1/3)Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.717298] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=1)Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 kernel: [ 337.722306] wlp2s0: associatedDec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 gnome-shell[1231]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point?Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 gnome-shell[1231]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point?Dec 21 16:49:21 hellnote02 gnome-shell[1231]: An active wireless connection, in infrastructure mode, involves no access point? while from dmesg [ 309.357125] wlp2s0: authenticate with 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2[ 309.360810] wlp2s0: send auth to 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (try 1/3)[ 309.364095] wlp2s0: authenticated[ 309.367660] wlp2s0: associate with 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (try 1/3)[ 309.377138] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=1)[ 309.382335] wlp2s0: associated[ 309.849855] wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 20 (20 - 0) dBm as advertised by 1c:ed:6f:f6:06:d2[ 337.696611] wlp2s0: authenticate with b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21[ 337.698907] wlp2s0: send auth to b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (try 1/3)[ 337.707314] wlp2s0: authenticated[ 337.711160] wlp2s0: associate with b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (try 1/3)[ 337.717298] wlp2s0: RX AssocResp from b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 (capab=0x1431 status=0 aid=1)[ 337.722306] wlp2s0: associated[ 337.723407] wlp2s0: Limiting TX power to 20 (20 - 0) dBm as advertised by b0:f2:08:c3:d9:21 Note that I have several devices connected to the same wifi (computers and phones) with zero issues.
