Are there any builtin settings within UMS for Network Manager to disable powersave? I’ve had multiple work from home users report wifi dropping out and found “wlan0: deauthenticating from {mac address} by local choice (Reason: 3=DEAUTH_LEAVING)” when running dmesg.
iwconfig might help:
power management shows as off, but if i run
cat /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
[connection]
wifi.powersave = 3
and i believe that shows that powersave is turned on. the documation is a little light on the powersave options
Then we could sed a bit:
ed -i “s/wifi.powersave = 3/wifi.powersave = 2/g” /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/default-wifi-powersave-on.conf
and reboot
