I recently bought a new laptop (HP with a Ryzen 3 3250u) which I dual boot with windows 10. I installed (upgraded to) a Intel ac-9260 . When the laptop is on battery power and on a kernel 5.8 and newer, it has no connection. It doesn't see the card at all in iwconfig .

When I plug in the power, it connects right away and works great. Shows up where its supposed to.

i have no issues on 5.4.0.54 . ( I did have a similar issue in Windows 10 that was corrected by a setting tweak telling it not to power save)

I tried editing /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf and setting

wifi.powersave = 2 This did nothing.

Sudo modinfo iwlwifi still shows

parm: power_save:enable WiFi power management (default: disable) (bool)

parm: power_level:default power save level (range from 1 - 5, default: 1) (int)

Everything works fine on the earlier kernel.

What am I missing?

5

Reset to default
