 Posted: Mon Apr 15, 2019 7:42 pm Post subject: Network Adapter Dies Randomly |
 |
|
Hello,
I've been having a strange issue with my wireless adapter for the past week or so. The device works fine and then at some point it randomly stops working -- I show 0 bars in my NetworkManager applet; if I type
after taking it down it say no such device.
The card is an Intel® Centrino® Ultimate-N 6300. After it crashes the drivers (iwlwifi and iwldvm) are still running; removing them and putting them back in (with modprobe) doesn't seem to help. Rebooting the machine gives me the drivers back.
I was running a 4.9.x kernel and just upgraded to 4.19.27 to see if that helped.
I'm also running some virtualbox modules:
| Code: |
# lsmod
Module Size Used by
vboxpci 28672 0
vboxnetadp 28672 0
x86_pkg_temp_thermal 16384 0
vboxnetflt 32768 0
vboxdrv 421888 3 vboxpci,vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt
iwldvm 147456 0
iwlwifi 221184 1 iwldvm
|
I do see some errors in /var/log/messages, but I think these are from when I restarted
| Code: |

Any ideas about how I could fix this or debug more?
Thanks in advance!

O.k., so after being a little more careful about when things were happening I did find a fair amount of info in the messages file:

and a lot more stack trace stuff. None of it is particularly meaningful to me. Later on:

etc.
So it looks like the kernel driver is definitely dying. Can anyone make any sense of it? Or even better, any ideas about how I could fix this??
Maybe a very practical question: Since rebooting seems to fix things, how can I reload the modules without doing a full reboot? Just doing rmmod followed by modprobe doesn't seem to be enough. Will using /etc/init.d udev restart reload the device fully? |
