Wi-Fi works for a few minutes, then disappears - kabifff - 2025-12-15
Currently using Ubuntu 25.1. I'm trying to get it to work on my laptop, but I've had this same issue on an HP desktop and a desktop I built myself. The issue is the same each time, no matter which distro I use and which PC I use:
I boot up, Wi-Fi works great. If I stop interacting with it for 5 minutes or so (like during a network transfer), the system stops recognizing my Wi-Fi and it doesn't work again until I reboot. Then the cycle just continues.
It makes torrenting impossible and I can't use network file transfers because they all take longer than this timeout bug. This happens on Ubuntu, Mint, OpenSUSE, and Debian. What am I missing here? How do I fix this?
