[SOLVED] Desktop Loosing Wireless Connection

lindylex · 02-27-2017, 12:18 AM

I have a Debian headless desktop with a wireless card "wlp2s10". When I leave it on for some time it looses connection to my router. Where do I start with fixing this?

ifconfig

Code:

Don't know if this still holds true, but for some wireless hardware deices supported by the ath5k, users have found that loading the driver with the 'nohwcrypt=1' option can be of benefit. This can be done by creating a custom file eg /etc/modprobe.d/ath5k.conf with the following entry

Code:

options ath5k nohwcrypt=1

It will take effect next boot.
