[Bug 1221857] Re: Wifi slowly degrades until no data transfer

 

@Joseph:

This has been happening since the first 13.10 image was available and I
installed it so several months now. So it happened in 3.10 and is still
occuring in 3.11. I just had it happen again this evening and looked at
dmesg and saw some odd looking messages about iwlwifi:

Title:
  Wifi slowly degrades until no data transfer

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My wifi has been slowly degrading at random times to the point of no
  data transfer but network-manager still shows connected. Only thing
  that resolves it seems to be manually disconnecting from wifi AP via
  network-manager and reconnecting also toggling N off in iwlwifi seems
  to have some effect (maybe coincidence though)

  I have ruled out the issue being a result of interference by checking
  signal quality (iwconfig) when it occurs and my cable modem is online
  with no issues and so is Wireless AP and other devices do not have
  this issue.
