Wi-Fi gets disconnected and fails to reconnect after recent update

Hello Garuda Team,

After the recent full system update, wi-fi gets disconnected automatically. System fails to detect any network. Hence we cannot connect to any network. The only option left with me is to reboot. This gets resolved after one or two reboots. But it can reoccur anytime.

I also experienced freezing of system recently.

System details below.

Congratulations that the machine runs Garuda and also still with KDE. :slight_smile:

Try other kernel or DE as test.
