WiFi Issues #572
Comments
|
I started a ping with timestamps to kali.org after a reboot on the linux-surface kernal. You can see it work for a few moments before it runs out of buffer space. I did the same thing on the kali kernal and no issues. Maybe I should try compiling my own kernal? |

+1, I have the same issue. In NetworkManager setting my WiFi connection powersave mode to 2 doesn't seem to solve it. I can cause the issue to happen faster if I put strain on my connection, such as doing a speed test with a fast internet connection. Once I get the Attempting to I've run Sometimes shutting down isn't possible once my internet stops working, I get a ton of errors due to being unable to stop some acpi stuff. Not sure if this is related or not. Using the latest release from dmhacker's repo on Arch with 5.1.15-1. I'm on a Surface Pro 2017. Edit: I've tried qzed's latest 5.3.1-1 release to no avail. |

Not sure if you have the i7 model, but for this processor there seems to be a fix: |

I have an i7-7660U. I added I can confirm I added the boot option because |
|
I can confirm this with the surface book1 and qzed's kernel also. |

Not sure if this helps, but I captured dmesg output. |

Issues still present in @qzed's latest release unfortunately. Here's my When trying to reboot, I get stuck after Not sure how helpful this even is, but I decided to post it anyway. I have to hold down the power button to shutdown from this point on. |

I have a similar issue on the SB2. Wifi breaks faster when watching videos or doing other traffic insensitive tasks. Ping does not give me the same error, though, but just "Destination Host Unreachable" though. Running |

I did some more thorough research and found tkimmm from issue #379 linked this comment: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1730924/comments/101 Basically it involves executing this script on startup. So far the module's been working flawlessly for me, but I will update this comment if anything goes wrong. Word of caution, like P.I.Julius, the person who modified the script, said, is to make sure the script is referencing the correct device (take a look at the comments in the beginning to see what I'm talking about). Edit: Don't need to include |

@taahamahdi Thanks a lot! Initial tests seem promising. I did not add |

@Schroedi thanks for pointing that out, I took that part out of my original comment |

It seems that only running on 5Ghz network with intensive networking tasks trigger the crash. I'll run the script above and test it..... |
|
I had the same issue and the script that @taahamahdi linked to above worked brilliantly. Being lazy, I didn't want to manually run it on each reboot, so I added a cron job to take care of that: Then add this entry at the end of the file: Restart and, to test that it works, try running the script manually. If it says the fix was "already set" then the cron job did the trick, and you can forget that the wifi was ever buggy 😄 |

I just tried the 5.4.1 Qzed kernel with the Surface Laptop and it works. |
|
Just successfully tried on my SP5 + @dmhacker's 5.3.18-1 kernel (on Manjaro) - worked a treat! Thank you @taahamahdi - nothing else had worked so far on the Surface Pro (2017) / 5th gen. (my last task now is getting the LTE modem working!) |

Hello! Thank you to everyone for your work on this. After installing my touch screen works, my battery status finally shows, things seem to be all around better. Except WiFi....
FYI, running latest version of Kali Linux on a Surface Book 2 (Dual-Boot) and latest pre-built kernal.
WiFi works for a few seconds to a few minutes after a reboot before it goes out. I stay connected but I cannot ping out to anyone or do anything network related. If I turn off WiFi and turn it back on again, I can no longer see any networks to connect to. I have to plug in my USB WiFi to get WiFi working consistently.
Prior to installing this kernal this did not happen. WiFi would go out randomly though (except I would get errors and different behavior as it could work for hours/days without going out) I also have no issues in windows. I found the FAQ and tried to disable/enable the WIFI adapter in UEFI. I reset UEFI all together. I updated the surface firmware. All in all I still cannot get WiFi to work consistently without using a 3rd party adapter. Any other ideas of something I should try?
