Title: Network Card WiFi & power save
Post by: nvm on April 06, 2020, 03:53:09 AM

Good time of day
Is it just me when the network is idle, does the network adapter go into hibernation and no longer wake up?

solution:
edit file
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 2


NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DEFAULT (0): use the default value
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_IGNORE  (1): don't touch existing setting
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_DISABLE (2): disable powersave
NM_SETTING_WIRELESS_POWERSAVE_ENABLE  (3): enable powersave
