Hey everybody,
I've been having some issues with the wifi on my bazzite machine.
The wifi, while on full signal, drops for a split second and connects back again. I get a notification in plasma every time this happens.
I don't know if this is relevant, but the computer technically has 2 ways to connect to wifi.
One is the motherboard wifi which i'm trying not to use, and another is a pcie network card.
Running "nmcli device status" I get:
wlan1 wifi connected {redacted}
lo loopback connected (externally) lo
/net/connman/iwd/0 wifi-p2p disconnected --
eno2 ethernet unavailable --
wlan0 wifi unmanaged --
Redacted the wifi connection name.
I'm fairly sure wlan1 is the pcie, with wlan0 being the motherboard, but not sure how to confirm this.
Never seen connman before, didn't have this on Fedora. I hope I'm not getting conned into a botfarm.
I'm not sure what the loopback is either.
I have tried to disable wlan0 completely but messed it up hard and reverted using ostree couple of months back.

In gamer terms, i have lost my server hosting privileges because I can't keep a steady connection, so I'm in a dire state and all my friends are making fun of me saying this is a linux issue.
Happy to provide any other info if required.
Thank you for the help,
