So, I managed to get my Killer 1535 wifi working in Ubuntu 16.04. However, there seems to be a nagging problem that everytime I suspend my laptop, on wake-up the wifi adapter is not available.

A full restart and/or shutdown and re-start, however, makes it available again! This problem also does not affect any USB wifi adapter.

Using:

sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service

resets the adapter but does not bring wireless back up. Still tells me "No network devices available".

A reboot, however, immediately fixes the issue.



I got the firmware using:
wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/poo...#8203;_all.deb

sudo dpkg -i linux-firmware*.deb

sudo modprobe -r ath10k_pci && sudo modprobe ath10k_pco


Any ideas?

Dump dmesg after suspend and wake-up again.

Could you be a little more specific, please? Thanks.

Normally, if there is any error or warning in WiFi driver, it will output in dmesg at tail.

nini09 suggests to use the terminal command dmesg.

Other tools may be to use ifconfig/ip other network control, look at acpi issues, see if laptop has a physical switch to resume/on/off wifi

@jefro It's an Alienware R3 (2016) model, so no physical buttons. I will look into the acpi issues...

Did you look at the command nini09 suggested?
