WiFi failure requiring reboot - Fedora 39

Ask Fedora
, ,
1

After a seemingly random amount of time WiFi will stop working on my laptop, I’m running an Intel wireless adapter and have updated everything but restarting seems to be the only way to fix the issue (temporarily).

I’m not new to Linux by any means but this is my first time using a public forum (sorry).

This is what happens when Wifi fails.

I suspect those lines may be very relevant. It indicates something about thermal temps might be at play since wifi is one of the early things to limit when the processor begins slowing down due to rising temps.

3

It is 40c for every day this week so that would make sense, I’ll see if I can record some temp metrics before and during failure.

4

Unfortuately I couldn’t find anything meaningful, each component got up to about 40c (barely above ambient) before failure.

5

Note that the processor responds to chip temp much faster than even lm_sensors can report it. Monitoring lags significantly behind actual temps.

I had a cpu with water cooling with a failed pump. Monitoring with lm_sensors only showed about 50C but the processor was shutting down the system with temps at about 90C internally. The rapid temp rise could not be reported before the shutdown.

6

I re-seated the wifi chip and tested it with a 8k video stream, it seems fine now but i’ll respond again if the issue continues.

7

Don’t want to necro-bump but I’m also having the failure described in OP, or at least something similar enough that I have to bump this thread, and not just on Fedora too; I had it on Arch before moving here and Windows isn’t exhibiting similar states of failure like this that makes it a hardware issue. My dmesg dump is available here.

I don’t know if it’s a temperature issue in my case, but I also have to see what the temperatures are when it gets to this state since the OS is actually still in a usable state, just that the wifi is shut down.

I was going to post this to the Bugzilla but I thought I’d try and ask here instead.

edit: I’m aware of the tainted kernel stuff in the dump, pretty sure that’s because I have VMware Player installed. I’m also wondering if it’s a firmware-related issue since the Arch wiki talks about that a bit.

FWIW, CPU is an AMD Ryzen 7950X (sidenote: these chips get toasty and need liquid cooling, and the cooler is fine), wireless chip is listed on lspci as Intel Wi-Fi 6E(802.11ax) AX210/AX1675* 2x2 [Typhoon Peak], kernel version is 6.8.4.

8

Colleagues who do outdoor agricultural research find external USB WiFI adapters can continue working when internal system temps are high.

9

I think my issue is the opposite, rather the wireless chipset (or its firmware, or iwlwifi) is crashing but the OS is still usable. The AX210 is also connected via PCIe.

10

That is exactly the problem my colleagues encountered – the CPU gets better cooling than the wifi chip, so in extreme conditions wifi may overheat before the CPU.

11

EDIT: Looks like I spoke too soon. The panic happened while it was at 50 degrees, which is within the range Intel states. This seems like either an iwlwifi or firmware bug, rather than a heat problem.

Well… crap. I guess you were right. I was skeptical since this was a tower (for the record, this is a gaming motherboard), so I did a very crude and intentionally strenuous test recently (had Discord, Twitch and Steam simultaneously downloading), logging temperatures of the wireless module every 15 seconds, and I noticed during that crude test that it was hitting the 70°C range, pretty dangerously close to the limit Intel states which is around 80°C. In fact, I didn’t need Discord or Twitch; Steam alone was causing it to hit 70.

I can look at increasing airflow or changing some settings (other modules allow this and have resulted in them being cooler), but it’s in the I/O shroud so it might be difficult to do that. Push comes to shove, I’ll buy a USB wireless adapter equivalent to an AX210 that works on Linux. If you use wireless VR (e.g. SteamVR on Meta Quest) you might want to get a WAP instead, hook that up to your router then connect the PC to the WAP via Ethernet.

To those reading, here’s the quick and dirty script I used to check the temperature:

while true; do
  iwlwifi_temp=$(sensors | grep temp1)
  cpu_temp=$(sensors | grep Tctl)
  echo $(date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"): $iwlwifi_temp -- $cpu_temp
  sleep 15
done

It logs the wireless module and CPU temperatures every 15 seconds. I could get by with just the wireless module temperature, but I figured, why not log the CPU as well.
