In most cases, it should be relatively easy to fix. Here is the official Qubes guide to this very problem https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/wireless-troubleshooting/ I can rapport it certainly worked for me, having had exact same issue as you describe. No more loose of internet connection after suspend/hibernate, quick internet after suspend or hibernate, and no more dom0 kernel panic reboots out of nowhere. I also discovered if you keybind the rmmod/modprobe wifi module process in addition to putting them on the blacklist as described in the list, you can force your network to quickly regain network, if it happens to be slow to connect or the discover is slow to become available when suddenly in range. But mostly the blacklist is sufficient enough. Even if it's happening outside hibernate/suspend, a keybind to the rmmod/modprobe process can in many cases quickly fix it, without having to type it manually or reboot your entire system. I never have to reboot anymore, having been in your shoes once. Hopefully this works for you too. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
