[WORKAROUND] Continuous disconnects on Kernel 5.0.0-38

Open ziSo12 opened this issue 5 years ago • 4 comments

There is an issue using Edimax EW-7611ULB wifi/bt stick on Ubuntu 19.04 Kernel 5.0.0-38. Wifi is constantly disconnecting/reconnecting and sometimes not coming back. Here is my current workaround. Thought this might be a power saving issue so I set CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n I also commented out #EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE

Source from branch v4.3.16 giving compile errors, source from branch master compiling fine, though. At least I got a stable connection so far.

I was also unable to compile v4.3.16.

Without someone posting the errors, I will never fix them.

I had the same issue on my openSUSE Linux system. It was consistently connecting/disconnecting.

Recompiled using: CONFIG_POWER_SAVING = n

and Commenting out #EXTRA_CFLAGS += -DCONFIG_CONCURRENT_MODE

My Wifi hotspot and Bluetooth all working well, thanks for this tip!
