WIFI Connection Reconnect Fails After suspend on FC41

Ask Fedora

I upgraded to Fedora 41 yesterday, and now my WIFI connection fails after coming out of suspend. A message like “Failed to activate WIFI connection”. I tried connecting to 2 routers wit the same result. Everything is fine after a reboot.

What log should I look at?

Suspend disables (powers off) the wifi card. It apparently does not restart it when waking up.

There are several threads about similar conditions in the past. I believe that (at least for some) a workaround may be to use systemctl restart NetworkManager.

I have not seen this problem since I never suspend.
A quick search on this forum (for ‘s0ix’) should locate some of those threads and may reveal a permanent fix.

No joy. That command did not resolve the issue. I rebooted to kernel 6.10.12-200.fc40.x86_64 and the problem went away. 41 came with 6.11.5-300.fc41.x86_64.

I’m in the same position. The networks show up, but cannot be connected to.

Systemd hardware log shows the following when trying to connect:

iwlwifi 0000:00:14.3: Not associated and the session protection is over already...

nmcli shows:

[...]
