Fw: How do I troubleshoot wireless network dropping?

[Matthew Campbell <trenix25@pm.me>]

Use ps x to see how many copies of wpa_supplicant are running.  If you have multiple copies started from the command line the wifi won't stay connected.  I had the same problem.

I'm looking for help on how to interpret journalctl to understand why
my wireless keeps disconnecting. I have two wireless adapters on my
laptop: an internal Intel card and a USB dongle. The former has driver
issues, so I generally rely on the latter.

I know that the hardware is fine because my phone never drops
connection. Windows on my laptop doesn't drop when using the dongle.
Bullseye does at seemingly random intervals (often when I'm relying on
it for things like video calls). I get the same behaviour on other
WiFi networks.

There is a lot of log output when the connection drops, so I don't
want to copy-and-paste everything. What would be the most helpful
parts of the log to quote to this group for help?
