Bug ID: 519832
Summary: suboptimal connection / connection dropped every few
minutes
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.6.4
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: grave
Priority: NOR
Component: Networking in general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: 1.0
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: CachyOS Kernel 7.0.3 (but same behavior under 7.0.2)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.6.4
Fresh Cachy install with KDE Plasma install with no tinkering with wifi driver
or anything of the sort.
same router & laptop setup, I had no connection issues under Ubuntu 24.04,
Kernel 6.18 (I believe), Gnome
Hardware:
Intel Elitebook, Raptor Lake PCH CNVi WiFi Card
Issue:
download speed fluctuating between peak for very short time to kB/s to 0 until
I restart the network manager or give it some time.
What I've tried:
People on reddit suggested that there might be two supplicants running at the
same time, that of linux/kde and the more modern intel one, which was the case.
systemctl status iwd.serviceerror message wd[3295]: Unexpected connection
related event -- is another supplicant running?
fixed this by disabling legacy backend
sudo systemctl mask wpa_supplicant
and editing
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/iwd.conf
[device]
wifi.backend=iwd[device]
wifi.backend=iwd
that got ride of that error, but it did not solve the issue, unfortunately.
Other things I've tried without success:
-disabling iwl power saving
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-power.conf
options iwlwifi power_save=0
options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
-reverting to Wi-Fi 5 standard by disabling Wi-Fi 6:
/etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi-stable.conf:
options iwlwifi disable_11ax=1
-booting the 6.18-26 cachy lts kernel
No change in the undesired behavior, unfortunately.
