Bug#800721: firmware-iwlwifi: Intel Corporation Wireless 7260 (rev 83) with firmware-iwlwifi-0.43 lost connection after system beeing idle
Package: firmware-iwlwifi
Version: 0.43
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
on my T440s runngin Debian Jessie, my wireless Intel Corporation Wireless 7260
(rev 83) with firmware-iwlwifi-0.43 lost connection after system beeing idle.
Connection is shown as still alive in networkmanager, but I am not able to
connect to my router webinterface nor getting internet access.
Waiting 1-2 min solve problem from itself and connection is beeing establised
again.
While no connection to router it was shown as signal strength "goog" and speed
1 Mbit. Afterwards, if working connection to router again, signal strength was
shown as "good" and speed as 130 Mbit.
I just left laptop with browser open and if coming back (and move mouse to put
screen on again) internet access was lost and even connection to lokal network.
But connection was shown as alive in Networkmanager but connection to router
was lost.
Waiting of 1-2 min while trying to open webpages in chromium or trying in
terminal to get internet access or local access somehow made the connection
alive again.
* What led up to the situation?
Letting laptop/system running in idle till screen turns off and coming back
after 30min-1h. Then connection was lost but was shown as alive.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I could toggle wifi on/off which was solving the problem. Another time just
waiting around 1 min helped to reactivate the connection somehow.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Lost access to router after system beeing idle but running. And when coming
back after 30min - 1h access to network was lost, but still shown as alive.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
Still working wifi access to local network/internet not just shown as working.
