Have You Read Our Docs Yes

Are You Reporting A Bug Yes

Environment

  • Kext Version: The latest one (v2.1.0)
  • WiFi Card Model: Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6
  • PCI Product ID: 0x2723
  • macOS Version: 12.1 (macOS Monterey)

Description Okay, so. I was normally listening to some music on Safari (youtube). I think I was listening for 5 hours straight. Until I wanted to pause the video, the system crashed. In the panic log, there is something about the intel kext so that's why I am making this bug report. Maybe I should try to listen on Spotify but meeh. The second issue is the Wi-Fi randomnly disconnects in a certain period of time. When it is connected for straight one hour, it disconnects and then reconnects succesfully. The thing is that sometimes I am playing online games and it's annoying to disconnects in the gameplay. In my opninon, I think I should replace the card but It'll deliver so slow. Anyway, I know that this project is still in development so that's alright.

Hi, please upload the panic log. Try to increase the DHCP lease time in your router and see if it helps.

Ugh, that means I need to redo the problem. I found the log in the Console. kernel-panic.txt

Behind that, I think it is cause of sleep because it isn't working really well. Maybe cause of CPUFriendProvider kext which makes the frequency thing. I'll try to change the values, maybe there's some hope making it work right.

Also, how do I increase the DHCP lease time in my router?

@plae2084 can you add keepsyms=1 at boot-args and then try again? or it will not contain the actual symbol and hard to know what's going wrong.

Also, how do I increase the DHCP lease time in my router?

Correct that the option is key exchange period, It depends on your router, most likely that the default value is 60 minutes.

Please not that the panic info also save on you Mac when kernel panic happens, you can find the files at /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ which ends with .panic.

Added it. What should I do now? Should I make the same thing to make the system crash and get the log?

Okay, I'll try and I'll let you know.

That's what I did. I found it there. But I copied it into a txt file cause GitHub doesn't let me upload .panic type files.

Reboot and reproduce it again, thank you.

Another question, have you ever used v2.0.0? it is the same?

Nah. I just got the card and I tried the latest version. I had Big Sur installed 2 days ago and the network was running fine I guess? I mean I haven't did much thing on Safari then. Gotta try it and let you know. I am still trying to make the system crash again also.

Sorry for the long response. Using v2.0.0 resolves the Wi-Fi disconnecting issue and also I've seen some improvements. I still don't know if it'll crash on Safari. Guess I gotta use Chrome. Thank you!

@plae2084 Thank you for the reply. I would like to know a bit more information to help us clarify and generalize the issue.

Did the panic trigger again? Have you tried this kext with other versions of macOS before? Do the conditions in #728 apply to your setup as well?

williambj1 avatar Jan 15 '22 01:01 williambj1

I am facing the same issue on MacOS 11.6.2 using itlwm version 2.1.0 (I also have an Intel AX200 Wi-Fi 6)

Wi-fi disconnects often (I don't the exact interval) and reconnects after a few seconds.

A downgrade to 2.0.0 is a workaround for now?

stefan89 avatar Jan 20 '22 13:01 stefan89

Hi @stefan89 can you check in your System Console if when it disconnects, you have EAPOL messages and/or a log like this ? Thank you

richibrics avatar Jan 21 '22 17:01 richibrics

@richibrics, no I don't get those messages when WIFI disconnects and reconnects.

PS. downgrading to version 2.0.0 did not help for me.
