Intel AX210 Wi-Fi randomly crashing on GPD Win 5 with Bazzite
bug
I’m having persistent Wi-Fi crashes on my GPD Win 5 running Bazzite, and I’m trying to figure out if this is a driver/firmware issue with the Intel AX210 or something specific to my setup.
Device
• GPD Win 5
• Intel Wi-Fi 6E AX210
• Bazzite (latest update)
Problem
The Wi-Fi randomly crashes while using the system. When it happens:
• The connection drops completely
• Sometimes the Wi-Fi interface disappears or gets disabled
• I have to reload the driver (modprobe -r iwlwifi && modprobe iwlwifi) or reboot to get it back
Sometimes it also becomes extremely slow (downloads dropping to ~100 KB/s) before crashing.
What I’ve tried so far
• Added driver options:
• options iwlmvm power_scheme=1
• options iwlwifi power_save=0
• options iwlwifi uapsd_disable=1
• Reloading the iwlwifi module
• Checking connection info with iw dev wlan0 link
• Considering router changes (80 MHz vs 160 MHz channel width)
Questions
1. Has anyone experienced similar Wi-Fi crashes with the Intel AX210 on Bazzite?
2. Are there recommended iwlwifi module parameters for stability?
3. Could this be related to firmware (iwlwifi-ty-a0-gf-a0) or kernel versions used by Bazzite?
4. Any known fixes for handheld PCs like the GPD Win series?
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
