Persistent WiFi Disconnects on Bazzite - Help
questionbug
Issue: Constant random disconnects. Crucially, clicking the Wi-Fi tray icon (scanning for networks) consistently kills the connection immediately.
Log: wlp37s0: deauthenticating... by local choice (Reason: 2=PREV_AUTH_NOT_VALID)
Hardware: Bazzite (Latest) | MSI X570-A PRO (BIOS 04/2024) | Ryzen 5 3600X | Atheros AR9462 (rev 01)
Troubleshooting Attempted (None worked):
Software: Disabled Power Mgmt (via iw & NM wifi.powersave=2), Disabled IPv6, Disabled MAC Randomization (Cloned Address: Permanent), Toggled wpa_supplicant vs iwd.
BIOS: Disabled ASPM, PCIe Native Power Mgmt, Global C-States, & IOMMU. Set Power Supply Idle Control to Typical.
I am really at a loss here. It seems like a power save or handshake issue, but I feel like I've disabled every power-saving feature possible in both the OS and the BIOS?
I’ve looked at so many Reddit threads, Discord messages, Linux forums, and I've even gone back and forth troubleshooting with Gemini to try and pinpoint this, but nothing has stuck.
Has anyone experienced this "Reason 2" loop, specifically with Atheros cards? Since opening the Wi-Fi menu kills the connection, I suspect scanning is the trigger. Is there a way to disable background scanning or a specific kernel driver option for ath9k?
Or maybe this is happening for some unknown reason?
Thanks in advance.
