[WORKAROUND] Continuous disconnects on Kernel 5.0.0-38
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.
Thank you @ziSo12, it helps!
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!
