Hello guys. I have very strange issue after installed Gentoo.

Just when installed, ive set up WiFi using wpa supplicant and it worked. After the reboot its not worked. I couldnt turn on wlo1, it raised input\output error. THEN. Ive loaded kubuntu (already installed) and WiFi there also not worked. THEN. Ive restarted the laptop with kubuntu - it works now 0.o. THEN loaded Gentoo - it aswell works 0.o. THEN restarted Gentoo - dont work. Load kubuntu - dont work. Restart kubuntu - work etc...

Please, help me :) I'm newbie in Gentoo :)

Hi!,

Can you give us more information : wifi chipset, output of dmesg.

Did you loaded the required firmware?

See https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi or device specific articles like https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Iwlwifi or https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Atheros_QCA6174.

My internet service provided gave me a multi modem with wifi functionality.
It looses wifi regardless if its a smartphone / tablet / notebook.

the only workaround was to set permanently one channel which reduced a bit these lost wifi issues. the channel handover seems to be broken in android / linux or on the multi modem site!

Too bad there are no wifi AC cards for mini pcie on marktet for notebooks. only for m2 standard which was introduced recently.

A better placement of the wifi node, setting tx power may helps.

Maybe... but let's determine first if the drivers are well installed and configured.

Do you have issue with overheating ? 93 degress is quite hot. is the cooling system blocked with dust? old thermal paste on cpu?

you should add CPUfreq to your kernel. check cpu frequency-scaling section of the kernel for your type of cpu.

I doubt a pavilon notebook has fiberchannel, or any adaptec ("maybe raid") controllers. Check whats loaded with lspci -kk and remove the unneeded bload from the hardware "SCSI" / "Harddisc / optical drive controllers"

You can start alternatively wpa_supplicant in a shell when you disable the system startup of that service. than oyu can see what happens.

Personally I need some debug info from wpa_supplicant /anything else which will tell us what is happening.

I did not saw anything which causes wifi issues, its probably from a good run, from a cold boot wihtout issues.
