Wifi stops working requiring a reboot

Help
1

Hi everyone,

I’m running NixOS 24.11.20240701.00d80d1 (Vicuna) on my Framework Laptop 13 with an AMD Ryzen 7840H and keep having an issue were the Wifi suddenly stops working. I have tried to restart network.target, network-setup.service and wpa_supplicant.service, but nothing seems to have any effect. I have also been having this problem for a long time and have updated my Nix installation multiple times. I’m currently running Linux wks-jb03-nix 6.9.7 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 27 11:52:32 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Here are the some hopefully relevant logs.

I’d be thankful for any hints how to troubleshoot the issue.

Given that it’s a recent processor, are you running the latest version of the kernel? I would recommend using NixOS unstable with testing kernel.

3

Thanks for the hint, I was already using the latest kernel and didn’t know about testing. I just switched to it, which gives me the following. We’ll see if that changes anything.

Linux wks-jb03-nix 6.10.0-rc6 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jan  1 00:00:00 UTC 1980 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Which wi-fi module are you using? I am using 7840U with

❯ lspci  | rg net
01:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter
❯ uname -a                        
Linux 6.9.7 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Thu Jun 27 11:52:32 UTC 2024 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Wifi disconnected every time a channel switched and kernel logs had “wifi-lan: driver doesn’t support chan-switch with channel contexts”. I ultimately disabled the channel switching on the AP.

5

I’m using the same controller:

01:00.0 Network controller: MEDIATEK Corp. MT7922 802.11ax PCI Express Wireless Network Adapter

But I’m currently on Kernel 6.11.0-rc6

Linux 6.11.0-rc6 #1-NixOS SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Tue Jan  1 00:00:00 UTC 1980 x86_64 GNU/Linux

I tried various things on the APs settings (TP-Link Omada) but I’m still having the problem. Sometimes it works for a few days straight, today I’ve had to restart four times because the wifi stopped working.

6

Well, just in case – here’s my machine config. System tracks 24.05 and the commit is current as of ~last Monday.

7

That’s nice, thanks. hardware.enableRedistributableFirmware sounds like it might have helped - esp. considering the comment.

I haven’t had the problem since switching to the Intel AX210 card though.

Your machine-configs repo is very interesting though, since I’m still quite fresh to managing multiple NixOS machines :slight_smile:

8

Thanks! Admittedly, my configs use a (partially not yet public) bespoke system to generate things, so those machinery bits are not very reusable. Modules are though, uranium and nitrogen are frame.work machines - 7840 and older i5 respectively.
