My wifi keeps disconnecting, the power management is already turned off, there's no block with the wireless connection
The output for sudo inxi -Nn is:

Shut the machine down & restart the router. If that's no help, try disable IPv6:

Also, does your wifi connection improve if you disable Bluetooth?

[SrOlaff]

Disabling IPV6 didn't work, do you any other thing i can do?

i tried this method but with the proper drivers of my wireless card, this was the error that i received when i tried to install the module

Code: Select all

 sudo make install

Did you disable Secure Boot in the BIOS, like the how-to says?

[SrOlaff]

Secure Boot wasn't enabled, didn't had to change it

[sleeper12]

Did you restart router/modem? You can also try:

Code: Select all

 sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service

when the wi-fi connection drops
i have to manually turn off and on to be able to connect again, it's a similar process to what this code do, i tried and process remains the same, i fear having to go back to windows because of this problem.

If no solution is found, you can always use a usb wifi adapter that works out of the box. Here's one Pjotr likes:

After weeks trying to figure out how to solve this problem i just gave up, i'm using an option on my phone named "USB tethering", basically you plug your phone with a USB cable in your PC and your phone will provide internet connection to your PC, it is working for me until now.

Hi, I had similar problems with my Realtek card and Mint, but with another driver (r8169). I spent a lot of time searching the web and trying to understand. Some people get good results when they unload and reload the module. You might just give it a shot:

Code: Select all

# modprobe -r r8152
# modprobe r8152

In case there is an indirect dependency on the "realtek" phy driver that breaks down for some obscure reason, you might also try:

Code: Select all

# modprobe realtek
# modprobe -r r8152
# modprobe r8152

It doesn't do any harm, there is a remote possibility it may help
